 Im getting my class one

Currently i work construction, and own a small deck buisness myself. The pay is decent but its alot of work!! I know in a few years im not gonna wanna work construction for $17 a hr.... so im looking for a change, I decided to get my class one  . It takes a few steps to get the licence, and the trainning will cost 2-4k. but once i got it im set !
There are sooo many transport jobs here. and they usually pay $20-30 a hour. If i want a deliver water to the oil rigs (rigs around here), i make $35 a hour starting. And i can make time and a half , if i want the extra hours...
Only problem is i blaze daily, and alot of "long haul" drivers get drug tested, so im leaning at local delivery's.
So im just gonna drive a gravel truck or concret truck locally. My friends work for a few of the local companys, and none of them drug test, and the work is very easy. they pay around $25 a hour to drive around town (while smoking one hooters).
This is not a career i wanna do my whole life, but its alot easier the construction, and the pay is 2x  . Any with my class one I can drive pretty much anything. bus, truck, semi, etc.
Any other professional drivers out there? any pros and cons?
Sound like a good job for a while?

Pretty much all the truck drivers who come to my hotel smoke weed, except maybe the bosses

Pour un instant, j'ai respiré très fort
Ça m'a permis de visiter mon corps
Des inconnus vivent en roi chez moi
Moi qui avait accepté leurs lois
J'ai perdu mon temps à gagner du temps
J'ai besoin de me trouver une histoire à me conter
Pour instant j'ai oublié mon nom

The spelling and grammar in this forum is about equal to a third grade special Ed class.
