>Endor
I assume you mean the forest moon of Endor since Idaho isn't a gas giant but then you mentioned ice, so I assume you actually meant Hoth. I find your lack of star wars disturbing.

And now you know why drivers, but most especially grain and rock carriers, always avoid coops because it's way to easy for them to be overweight.

>who pays
Your employer may front the money. Or not. But ultimately you will be the one paying.

Would trucking in the oil fields be a good idea now that the pipelines got the go ahead? I'm making $20/hr, 40 hours no overtime comfy local delivery job at the moment. But thinking when I turn 25 next year I should maybe try some real trucking and have a sense of adventure.

I forgot there was a scale there, otherwise I'd have jumped off and scooted around. Better luck next time i suppose

I'm in the same position as you. I bet my job is comfier tho. I finish my deliveries early and I get like half the day to my self while still getting paid. Some days I'll just go home early getting paid for the full day of course.
I get to see tons of awesome places in the great state of California. I don't earn much considering the high cost of living but since I live with my parents I keep most of my check. I'd say don't do it. It's better to be happy at your job compared to earning more but being unhappy. Pic related. Dwarven village I went to this week.

>the training program I am taking is 4 months long with 260 hours
Jesus Christ, what a gigantic waste. I got my license with a 2 week course and was a qualified driver after 6 weeks (1 orientation, 5 training).
I hope you're getting paid by a company or something to take this training program.
