If you feel that its necassary yes...but are you still going to be able to work and bring in your own income? These semi truck drivers carry insurance and yes some of them carry million dollar insurance but not all of them go after the company he is driving for dont go after him..he probably feels guilty about it every day of his life. I am very sorry for your pain.\n\nGood Luck to you

Get in touch with the Operators Union in your area. They provide all the training and you'll be paid while you learn. The apprenticship program is usually 3 years. Just looking into this myself. I worked one job for them so far operating a forklift at a nuclear power plant. 24.50 an hour. \nGood Luck

my ex was a trucker for 8 years and he still is... You want a company who treats you like a person and not a truck number.. Trust me on this one....get one that pays by the mile not the load... Also, martin transportaion has a place in canada and the united states. They are a decent company.....Don't ask for paid this or that as they set there pay according to experience and all trucking companies are different. Some pay for empty miles and some dont. You want one that does. Some also pay extra for shorter runs....Those are some quesitons you can ask them when you call them....a good start pay is 33-38 cents per mile....Just the biggest piece of advice i can offer is make sure your treated like a person or else you wont like it and wont stay with them,. Some large companies get so big they only know you for your tractor number.... Good luck to you

Truck Drivers, specifically "Over The Road" Truck Drivers, make about $35,000 or so that first year, and it goes up each year as the driver gains experience/time with a company. \n\nIf he is planning to own his own truck, the figures are fairly different and can fluctuate substantially, as being an "Owner Operator" is costly and demands a driver that can stay diligent in the payments of the truck. A lot of Owner Operators say it is better to be a company driver, unless you really have your ducks in a row.\n\nAlso, pay and benefits as a company driver can variate from company to company. My suggestion is he drive for J.B. Hunt (SEE: http://www.jbhunt.com/ ) or Schneider (SEE: http://www.schneider.com/ ), both pay well and are reputable companies.\n\nA solo OTR driver should drive about 10,000 miles per month, though some drivers can handle more, I have seen guys drive 14,000 per month, it's up to the individual, and his/her stamina, and diligence! :)\n\nAt a typical .30 per mile base pay, that equates to about $36,000 gross BEFORE taking into consideration other pay and benefits, such as unload pay, layover pay, extra stop pay, etc. and of course driving more than 10K miles per month, good money if you ask me, and that is just in the first year or so! :)\n\nBe prepared for a major change in your personal life to, with him being gone a lot, life can get more complicated. You two need to discuss things, and make sure you think ahead on how to deal with issues such as death in the family, bills, the children, etc. so when he is gone, things run smoothly for BOTH of you! :)\n\nFor more research about trucking pay, visit http://www.payscale.com , it is an excellent resource to help you decide which kind of trucking job to go for. Typically, a local LTL driving job will be better and pay a lot more! :)

There are alot of veriables. Depending on weather you are paying for your own athority, truck, fuel, or if you are working for a company. With all of that in consideration a truck driver can average after a year in the industry anywhere from 40 - 100 grand +.

Ask a fork lift driver where he got his training.   Most large companies with warehouses will train their own fork lift drivers and provide a way for them to get a certificate.

Yes. You need to learn. You can. Everyone else can. I've seen some really bad drivers too.

I ride a Gravity.  Independent trucks are the way to go. I'm sure they have their own website you can checkout.

It will be hard, but possible - not all top drivers come from rich families. You should really have talent and some luck would do too.

Contact a company you would like to work for and ask them what their requirements and qualifications are to be hired for the job.\n\nIt may be years of education...or it may be just a clean driving record and drug test.
