I am in the military and, with all the force cuts, have been thinking about picking up a 2nd job (weekends and days off) as a driver. The goal being to have something to fall back upon if my military career suddenly goes away due to ongoing force cuts. My work schedule will support 3-4 days a week on the road, local haul.
I expect to pay the cost of tuition for a truck driving school out of pocket (160 Driving Academy, Belleville, IL).
Any thoughts on the quality of education 160 provides?
Is pursuing a part-time truck driving job, local only, realistic? Force cuts the past several years have destroyed so many folks' active duty military careers, and I am just thinking ahead so I can be in a position to survive if the axe comes my way. Gotta be able to make that house payment and feed the kids, ya know...
Have always wanted to drive...this may be a chance to get started.
Thanks for any helpful replies.
