I see places on craigslist that pay for CDL training. Seems like good money for a single guy. Would it be rewarding to drive around America?

You missed the trucker hate thread we had a good one yesterday.
In short don't do it. It's a miserable lifestyle, the pay is actually bad considering the hours, and everyone hates you and thinks your subhuman trash. Nobody's gonna feel sad when this low IQ inbreds are automated out of existence in ten years.

they pay for your training and you sign a contract to work for them for 2 years for minimum wage.
they make you drive with shit broken on the trucks, then if you get busted by DOT you're going to federal prison, or shelling out whatever small amount of money you made to hire a really great lawyer. the company/management will deny they ever told you to drive under such conditions and you're stuck in the middle.

you still need people behind the wheel even with automation retard

Truckers will be one of the first occupations to be hit by self-driving cars. Think about it: long-haul trucking on the Interstate is going to be very easy to automate. At most, they'll need like one guy in a convoy of semis to handle edge cases and some workers at the endpoints to handle the in-city driving. Beyond that, trucking jobs are going to dry up very, very suddenly and you'll be up a creek.
Maybe get a job as a diesel mechanic instead. Even automated trucks will need repairing.

>you still need people driving a truck that drives itself
Maybe for the first couple years while boomers and lawmakers are still skeptical but people will see quickly that empty autonomous trucks are 10x safer than the low IQ meth addicts currently on the roads and the "hurr i'll make 30/hour sleeping in my self driving truck" brainlets will be put out to pasture.

I've had my cdl for 20 years now and if I had to do it over again I probably would. I worked for a local company that put me thru school for it in exchange for 18 months service to them, which wasn't bad. Ive done long and short haul, considered hazmat and bus but didn't. Hurt my shoulder 7 years ago (outside of work) and started driving my own car as a courier since I couldn't shift without pain, and i'm probably remain a courier. It was decent money and for a single guy with minimal debt I was able to save up 100k in about 5 years back then.

Trucking is absolutely patrician tier if I wasn't making more doing something even easier I would totally go back to trucking

This is the exact reason why vehicles will never be fully automated and will always require a human occupant dumbass.
