My husband drive one for a living and he loves it and gets paid any time he can't work rain, snow or just slow like you said in winter. How cool is that and the benefits rock and you are correct you don't drive that far. Go for it. Plus you get to sleep in your own bed every night!!

Is this the 2.5 million dollar question......\n\n  Should you go back.....that is a hard one.

you should go for it. Otherwise you may always regret not doing it. Sure, you may have changed, but if you explain to him it was an impulse that you had to follow or live with that regret, you'd be happy no matter what the outcome, because you had achieved your goal in at least seeing him again.

I currently work in a male dominated industry as a professional truck driver. We are starting to see more women drivers come into the industry and i would like to see this trend continue...Women truckers are a tough crowd and I think it is great...I am a male, but it is always nice to hear a sweet female voice on the CB...Women also tend to be more safety concioous so I think this is a wonderful thing and hope more women will consider truck driving as an occupation...The pay is great and it is fairly easy work...Just keep those big rigs between the lines and dont take any shi# off the other men sharing the road with you...I say go for it!!!!

I was proud of my first speeding ticket too. Hung it on my fridge for a week, then took it to my mom's house and hung it on her fridge for a week.  I was so proud.  I am a 34 year old woman who drives big rigs for living and probably know more about trucks than any decent woman should but I say go for it.  It feels great.

Perhaps they will if your CDL is in good standing.  If it's not, then I highly doubt you will ever drive truck again.

Of course. Trucking jobs are one of those types of jobs that don't really have a retirement age. As long as you can prove you are a good driver, you can drive a truck.

If I were you, I would stay away from driving a fast vehicle. And get your brakes checked.

Your between Morro Rock and a hard spot! Move out and learn a big lesson. It's the only way to get a peaceful life back.

It sure will show up.  Your best bet is to be honest about it right away.  My fiance had a driving offense 9 years ago and its STILL showing up because he did time in huber.  No truck driving jobs for you for 10 years.

What kind of truck and hauling do you want to do? Van, Auto, Step deck, Heavy Haul, Refrigerated?\nIn my experience no matter what I or anyone else tells you will much matter.  I might like one company and how they treat me as an employee, but you might not.  My husband and I heard terrible things about SCHNEIDER for years and never would go there.  Then through a series of events we wound up leasing our truck through them.  There were probably other companies that would have paid more, but we felt like we were in the right place for that time in our lives.  It was a great work relationship, and if my husband hadn't been severely burned while we were off for a few days 2 years ago this week, I believe we would still be leased to them.

A bunch of experts here I see many good answers. I think you should work to live and not live to work. When you stop having fun with your work, its time to move on.

No, as a former truck driver I know that slowing down saves gas, I gained 1 mile per gallon by slowing down 7 miles per hour, just think if everybody did that, I know they would find another way to keep the prices high, but the point is it would help to go 55, it also makes a difference on driver fatigue and how 4 wheelers interact with you.

When I was 17 I got pissed off at my brother who was 16 and drove towards him with my pick up truck. I figured he would jump out of the way, he figured I'd stop. We were both wrong. The front wheel went over his right foot kinda sideways breaking a few bones.
