My last job was seasonal and temporary, so I went on unemployment insurance when that ended and have been NEET for the past 4 months. I now have only about a month and a half of UI remaining so I need to make some decisions and was thinking about getting a CDL and becoming a long haul trucker.

The way i see it the pros are:
Save on rent by living in the sleeper compartment of truck
Work on your own, without co-workers
Decent pay
I have no wife or kids and don't really care for the area where I'm living now so I don't mind being on the road so much

Cons:
I have generalized anxiety disorder and I've only drove regular cars and pickup trucks, never anything as big as a bigrig so I find it kind of intimidating
I dont know how yet much the class will cost or how much insurance will cost, so there could be a big investment involved
I hear it's very easy to get hired once you pass the test and get your CDL because there is a great demand for truckers right now, but that's just what I've read online, and maybe its wrong?


I'm going to talk to a recruiter tomorrow for a truck driving school, and hopefully get a chance to ask lots of questions and decide if this is right for me or not, anything I should know before hand, questions I should ask the recruiter or any advice from truckers who do this for a living would be appreciated.
