Nah, as long as you can pass the tests, you're good. Doubly so if you do it in Illinois.

Why u say that?

Our previous jailed governor (not to be confused with our CURRENTLY jailed governor, or any of those who went to jail before him) went to prison when a truck driver lost a mudflap, and it flew up beneath the car behind him, hit the gas tank, and sparked an explosion. Six kids were burned to death. If he'd done a proper pre-trip and it hadn't been found, it just would've been put down as an act of God, but it turned out he didn't even know HOW to do a pre-trip- he'd bribed the examiner to get his CDL. After the story broke, they started hammering down HARD on the tests, ESPECIALLY the pre-trips. They're still nasty about it to this day.

I hang out with a lady who is a long haul trucker and she got into it when she was 41. She loves it because it suits her lifestyle well. It is not for everyone but she likes it.
