Traveling overseas while having a job as a trucker .

Hello ,

I have a question , I recently got my CDL " Class A " license and I'm very happy and excited about it . I'm 21 years old and I'm getting ready to get on the road for the first time . One of the reasons why I decided to become a truck triver ( for a few years only ) is because I want to utilize trucking as a tool to travel overseas and also fulfill a childhood dream of going to Japan ( and even living there someday and so forth ).

However my main concern is :


" Will I be able to travel overseas for a month at least without having to worry about my company firing me ? - Will I lose my job if I ask for 1 month off ( or more ) for overseas travel ? "


I really like this site because it has really helped me to make the decision to become a trucker easier and it is also a great resource for motivating others who want to achieve their goals and be happy in life .

Thanks Hervy !
Great work man !

Best Regards
John
