If the open road sounds a lot better than a cubicle, there’s a good chance you’ve got it — the itch to become a truck driver. Some people suppress the feeling, settling for a life cooped up in corporate culture or performing menial tasks that don’t really make difference. But that’s not you, is it?
Wouldn’t you rather cruise down the highway enjoying a gorgeous sunrise, pinching yourself while quietly muttering, “They pay me to do this?!”
If you’re ready to make the leap into a rewarding career that plays a critical role in the economy and lets you see the country like never before — now with more home time options than ever — congratulations!
