rough times

Hey drivers. New here, still pretty green driver too.

Got a bit of a dilemma , maybe ya can help.

So I'm new driver, got my A-z in June. I love it, I'm currently international long haul, from NW Ontario. And its awsome. Cant complain with what I do.

However, my dilemma is my time off.. I mean it's killing me. Having 36-48 hours off at most. ####, 16 of those is spent sleeping, and 4 more atleast is preparing for my next run. My list of #### to do is through the roof and getting worse. My woman is good and is adjusting probably better tHan I am, guess that's why I stuck with her for 5 years and counting.

Im getting this feeling of being trapped, being a new driver AND under 25 im kind of a hard guy to hire. I want to look els where, but I'm really unsure. Btw, the money is ok, not good enough to put my tail between my legs and shut up/ keep driving .. ( 2200 roughly before tax )

 

Might be a note worthy point. There is no room for growth wwith this company, what I make now I'll make for as long as I'm here. ( small wage increase every few months maybe with inflation. )

 

I got friends and family in the Bush operations, I wouldn't mind it. But again, I'm a hard Guy to hire. My record is clean, 2 warnings that's all.

And like I said, this otr stuff I absolutely love. For the time being that is. I can see how this career path isn't for everyone. I am defiantly gifted in that sense.


After some more reading on here. Mright be worth a mention, I am paid all unload/load tines, wait Times, layover, fuel ,pre/post trips. No touch freight.
