Many have the misconception of truck drivers always having
to go cross country and live out of their trucks on the open
road. While there are many trucking jobs that consist of just
that, there are also many trucking jobs which allow drivers
time with family through benefits like home time and
vacation pay.

CDL which is more affordable than any additional schooling.
