If you could go back in time how would you handle your trucking career?

Not even get into it?

nuff said.

 

I would have married JB Hunt's daughter.

 

Get a real job.

 

As straight and direct a line to LTL as possible, then a focused 5 year asset collection and debt reduction period, linked with a cash accumulation strategy to own a truck outright. Then I'd be 5 years younger than I am now. I don't think the last 5 years as a company driver taught me a whole lot, and I could have used the extra life points.

Or, as other folks told me, I'd have stayed at school longer.

 

I wouldn't do anything different.

I did did my homework and made good choices right out of the gate and had a solid 5 year plan and a clear direction.

Went with a community college program that I checked out well before I laid down a dime and wasn't locked into a slave labor contract.

Went with a good training company that I thoroughly researched which in turn set me up for the good gig I have now that I conceivably can retire from.

As as with everything in life, proper preparation yields better than average results.

 

i kinda like what i do
never drove anything but reefer
like going to CA

now if i could go back to 1985 and the money made fishing and a couple less divorces
quitting drinking in 1981 instead of 2001
that might change response

 

Yeah buddy, but you know what they say about them Hunt girls.

They uh...like to hunt...for younger more attractive men...

 

Sold the house and everything else I owned and gone OTR for a couple years or however long it took for me to figure out what to do with myself.

 

if i could go back i wouldn't mess with them hoes nd get them pregnant nd got myself in trouble with child support, it was too late by the time i figured what i was doing was wrong nd killing my income.
