    Hi all,

    Im a 40 year old guy who is looking to change careers and really want to try driving.
    Ive been a nurse for 23 years and am keen to have a job where im by myself !!!

    Ive got a clean license, an LR license, impeccable work history, 2 degrees,
    can work day and late shifts, every other weekend, preferably 4 days per week at 8-9 hours per day.

    With this criteria in mind what kind of driving jobs are available?

    What kind of job should I go for, what am I likely to get ?

    Really look forward to your help

    thanks

    If you find that schedule please pm me directions to Perth WA so I can come fill out an app too.

    Good luck, check into local gigs like garbage, cement, construction etc.

    Well I've been there and if your single you sure do not want to leave the city. Especially if you're looking for a wife or girl friend.

    Yep perth Australia,

    I guess my preferences are my 'dream' preferences that would work around my kids, and they obviously aren't achievable !!
    So what are driving jobs hours generally like ?

    I don't mind working the hours , but are 8 hour days feasible ?
    Is there much scope for casual drivers........say working 3-4 days a week when needed ?

    I'm gonna assume that, like myself, most Americans don't know a lot about the trucking industry in Aus. This may be a question best answered by @Ozdriver
