I am the only male in my family that doesnt drive. My Dad has owned 2 trucking companies over the years, my brother, step dad, uncle, great uncle all drive, LB white out of Kansas is my cousins. I had my CDL but didnt care for it. Most of the over the rode drivers like it, its what you make of the job. Their are lots of options as a driver if its a career choice. You used to be able to go take the test and get hired somewhere but most companies wont hire you without experience any more. Most schools are a joke. I second going through an emloyers training program, do a couple years then get a good paying local job where your home everynight. Some employers have good paid training available, but you will be team driving with some stinky fat ass hole for a year or what ever.

Get in where you can, then after a couple years buy a truck and lease to the highest paying bidder hauling meat to TX and produce back every week, good money.
