I find the depth of the article simply amazing. The ability to predict and control out comes well before an event actually takes place is where many fail, simply put, fail to...plan to fail.

I appreciate the width of topics covered in this article. I am a laid off EDI programmer who has been faced with no New England jobs and so I had to consider other jobs. Since I am young, have had a long commute and only need to provide a base support for my wife's new job which can be very lucrative, I have gotten serious about considering some time as an OTR driver. I need some time away from computer screens.
This article helps me to consider the stresses and advantages that I will have with my background. Thank you for the article.
I will continue to plan to become a CDL-A OTR driver. Variety of experience can make me more profitable. I need some time studying the variables from the trucker's perspective. I am curious to see if there are ways to help reduce the annual turn over rate of 100 percent.
