Title: | Commercial Truck Driver |
On any given week, you might find Jerry Chandler trekking across the country for his job as a commercial truck driver. He says that when he was in high school, he’d always wanted to drive an 18-wheeler, so he decided to go for it.
After completing the KLLM Driving Academy at Hinds Community College, Jerry began his career as a truck driver where he spends his days on the open road traveling to places like South Carolina, Texas and California. Jerry hopes to one day buy his own truck that he’ll pay off and then lease to his company.
