    Drivers,

    I am a few weeks from starting my career as an OTR driver. One need not look far to see the negatives and stress which comes with this industry.

    I wonder is perhaps some of you might share some of the POSITIVE things that you enjoy about your job?

    Would be much appreciated. :yes2557:

    Happy Holidays!

    If you're married, relish in the fact that finally you have a bed to yourself where noone is going to hog all the covers.

    As long as you take your time and learn the right way, Dont get into any rush, keep your license clean and you will always have a job and make a respectable living for you and your family.

    Keep your CDL clean, get experience then try and get local work with union carrier. Money in the bank.

    You get to look down females shirts at red lights.
    You have a cool little air horn.
    You get paid to listen to a diesel engine run all day..No better sound in the world.

    You get to meet women in different cities and have a viable excuse why you can't get into anything "serious"............providing you are currently single.
