Nobody forces anybody to go into trucking.Rules and regulations,Yes.Just like most other jobs.I have seen many people over the years start driving and give up.Why? because it is a tough lifestyle Long hours,bad weather and not great pay for what we do.Would you rather be chained to a desk or factory machine?A job is not all about money,it's about getting up in the morning and wanting to go to work.I have had trucking jobs over the years where I loved to get up and go to work,other times I would dread waking up.Do your research before going on to a company and don't let the rules and reg's overwhelm you.Drive safe and do ask older drivers advice,I did, it saved my butt running the rockies.

I started out hauling hay then Bulls w/a 1959 B model Mack, you can add, shovel manure, "Why don't you drive and I'll shovel" fix flats, wash trucks and trailers, load railroad cars with fat cattle so the railroad can haul them to the packer and we lose our shirts. Get kicked, stomped , rammed and squeezed by cattle and then they crap on you, lay down and die get over heated................................. on and on. I haul 3 horses at a time w/my own truck, get $3/ mile loaded and stay in a luxury apartment in the trailer. GOSH! Life is easy. I sit on both hands to keep from waving at all of you. BYE
