Good or bad time?

Just wondering if this may or may not be a good time to get into the field of trucking. I know elections usually don't help. Your opinions?

Lots of high tech people getting into trucking. You obviously have an education and being in electronics gives you a big hand up. You have logic on the brain which can be applied to anything.

Make sure you weigh the pro's and con's before you jump into it and if you have a family make sure they know what to expect from all this as well . Angel

Very well said. If you've never been away from loved ones for an extended period of time before you may not like OTR...
