    Right on, thanks. Hopefully the Asheville location is up to par with the others.

    I'm a single guy, early 30s with no kids. Not sure what kind of opportunities would be available post-schooling with no other trucking experience but I'm hoping it would afford me some currency to avoid the mega carrier slave driver grind I hear about on the forums, Smart Trucking channel, etc. Income now is in the $50k's, ready for a change, want to hit the ground running and go all in if I ultimately decide to pursue trucking. I hope with the right approach it'll be realistic to pull roughly the same the first year and work up from there.

    Wouldn't mind being out for a few days at a time seeing the country but could see local/home daily being the eventual goal. I've seen a few log and feed hauling job postings around NC that sound like something I could enjoy... More rural industry type stuff out in the country and less dealing with city driving & traffic. Seems like those types of gigs involve dealing with the loads out of the seat a bit more. A little physical activity and variation to the day is a plus in my book. Not opposed to the tanker route down the road if it's fairly lucrative.

    You can make a lot more than $50K as a trucker.
