Wow! Big decision, but could work. IMHO, class b is much easier, cheaper, safer, and more attainable. I drove 18 wheels for a large carrier for a few years and doubt you will have a lot of options on that route. My wife would not consider anything that `bends in the middle or has a shifter`, so that's why we are in a straight with an automatic. I would re-think the idea of using a truck as "home", but if you do make sure you have a "tax address" somewhere so you do not lose the benefit of claiming per diem on your taxes. Big deduction. I'd read a lot of forum posts, with a grain of salt, and develop a short list of companies. Look more for trends in feedback about companies than individual, isolated comments. Then look into driving for a small fleet owner at one of those companies. You are smart to be on here asking questions. Good luck!
