There was quite the discussion on here about truck driving at the beginning of 2009. I recall a few people (myself included) were looking into hanging up their headsets for a trucking cap.
I was pretty close to dropping $3k on the community college CDL school in May. The problem was that the class size was 30 students and there were 100+ guys wanting to get into it. Even though I had cash, these guys had been on a year long waiting list already. Sheesh! Professional schools were too expensive as well. It seemed exciting though at the time! I was pumped and ready for the schooling! Got my DOT physical done and everything.
