Contemplating A CDL Job

The economy is still horrible here in Florida. The BP spill got us, the housing implosion got us and we are still treading water. With the increased gas and food prices, it is hard to make a living in Florida. I work in the service industry and my wages have been cut in half. It is really beginning to bother me having to live paycheck to paycheck. I used to be able to save a few bucks, but not anymore.

The other day I looked in the paper and I saw a bunch of CDL Jobs. The one company would even send you to school for free if you agreed to work for them. I have been contemplating a change for the past few years and this is really tempting. I know truck drivers still make a lot of money because I have friends who are in the business.

The perfect scenario for me would be a daily route from one city to another. I used to have a route like this when I lived in Indiana. I would load up my truck in Cincinnati and drive to Louisville. I would spend the rest of the day dropping off deliveries in Louisville and I would make it home for dinner every night. I think I might answer one of these ads and see what they have to offer me.

Great Local Truck Driving Jobs

I had a hard time getting a job when I first moved to Florida. Everybody wanted to know how long I lived in Florida and when I said I just got here, they told me to come back in a year. I love to drive, so I checked out some driving jobs. I checked out valet jobs, pizza delivery jobs and Local Truck Driving Jobs. I hooked a job as a valet in a golf course community. It was cool driving all of the expensive cars at the country club. The people were nice and I had a great time.

The problem was I wanted to be a truck driver. I love driving from place to place and checking out the sites. Truck drivers are important to our economy and they are lucky. They make good money doing what they like to do and they help our economy flow. I kept checking out the advertisements on the internet, so I could get hooked up with the job I wanted.

I remember when I lived in Indiana. I had a truck route from Cincinnati to Louisville. I would pick up restaurant supplies in Cincinnati and I would drive to Louisville. It was cool to check out the Louisville Slugger company, the KY Derby and other fun places. I loved the job, but the economy went astray and I was laid off. Now I am in Florida looking for that perfect truck driving job, so I can explore more of our beautiful country.
