I want to become a truck driver and my PO won't let me leave the state to be one. What should I do and what should I say??

You should do what your PO tells you to do.

You should not say anything, that will cause further problems between you and your PO.

Hello X:

You're not going to be able to be an over the road truck driver while you're on probation. You're going to need the permission of the probation department of every state you travel through. Plus, you're going to have a probation officer in each of those states too, and you're going to need an address in each of those states (which you ain't going to have).

Nahhh, dude. They ain't going to do that. Drive in your state while you're under supervision. Afterwards, you can go anywhere.

The trucking company I worked for a few years ago had several drivers who were on probation working for them and they were going all over the country with permission from their PO. It all depends what you are on probation for and how receptive your PO is. Right now they probably want to keep a short leash on you for who knows what reason. You can still go to school and be a driver, but you'll have to work for a local company that does only your state deliveries. The OTR jobs pay the best, but right now you could drive a local dump truck, a septic system truck, a milk tanker, or you could work for a local construction company that needs heavy equipment delivered to work sites. There are loads of driving jobs locally but they don't pay as much. Have to get your feet wet somewhere...

Yes, first get a job, local driver, the experience over the next few years will help in getting a better OTR latter.
