When I start trucking in a few years I'll be throwing away nearly 15 years worth of military experience (IT) including my clearance but i really don't care.
The Military has made me hate everything about what I once enjoyed on top of that I also hate people.
It somehow dawned on me that trucking is the perfect job for me. You're always on the road (can look at it as always escaping), it's only you out there in that truck and some of the biggest bullshit you have to deal with is some stupid rules and hurry up and wait. I also have no family or friends so i can spend months out there never in one place for too long.
Really don't give a fuck about showers or the food as I mainly eat meal replacement shakes and I shower every couple days.
I wish i had realized this years ago but that's fine I have 3 years to prepare myself for this, best part of it is I can get the Military to pay for a top of the line CDL school and with that I should be able to walk into a pretty decent company off the get go.
The though of trucking, long haul, is now all i can think about and i even dream about it. I have a pretty good idea of what the industry and daily life entails and if i continue to research for the last few years of my contract i should have no problem or surprises diving into that world.
