Back in 2008 my cousin ran for Secretary of State here in West Virginia and I drove his RV all around the state to different functions. I didn't need a CDL for that but I really enjoyed traveling all over the state. There is something serene about being on the road alone. I've made a cross country trip twice. First was from West Virginia to New Orleans to Los Angeles then a couple years later from LA to Denver back to West Virginia. I actually made the Denver to West Virginia trip in one sitting, 23 hours straight...lol. I was in a hurry to get home...lol.
I have been driving for 5.5 years. Started off in a hazmat tanker, then I did 2 yers with SPEED Channel and Fox Sports, after that I hauled auto parts for Honda, now I drive for a health care company taking mobile mri and ct scanners to hospitals are ky in oh and wv. If I dont win the powerball i will retire from the company I am at now. Be careful getting in this business. There are a lot of very wealthy truck drivers, there are far more broke truck drivers. A lot of trucking companies dont give a damn about their drivers and keep them on the road weeks at a time and pay them very little. You can also say goodbye to raiding for the first two years, that is how long it takes to get in with a company that will have you home daily and still pay you good.
