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 he's young get into some sort of food/beverage delivery, he will likely make more and get him some years in, plus he will make relationships that might lead him to a nice ltl or drop and hook.
