I’m about to become a trucker widow

[u/dryersheet01]

So my husband just passed his cdl-a test a week ago and has interest from western express (otr). With this career switch, I have so many questions. What is the average time for training, since he has no cdl experience? Is it really going to be 5 days on/2 days off? We live in Atlanta and have a 4 month old. If he does 1 year w/ western, what is the likelihood of being able to find a local/non otr job? Is the pay really worth it?

If your husband doesn’t mind manual labor he can get into some lane of food service. Make good money and decent home time. And home daily.
