Long-haul drivers can expect to earn a solid paycheck after a short training period. Training is also affordable — a far cry from the debt of earning a four-year degree. Although the trucker lifestyle isn’t for everyone, it’s a stable and lucrative job that provides adventure and freedom for those who crave independence. And it’s not just a man’s world.
