Drivers Still Unhappy With Their Jobs

Jeez, treat folks like crap, and then expect them to like it !!!!! I really hope all the good people thinking about driving a truck for a living read this. Please do alot of research before hand. Driving for a living may be a little different from what you had imagined. PEACE..........

 

to say the least ......
Aint no fun no more ,its turned into a JOB!

 

...a job that takes away the best years of your life, ruins your health, destroys your marriage, robs you of time with your family, prevents you from having any meaningful relationships with anyone, drains your self respect and rewards with inhumane treatment by shippers/r'cvrs, even your employer treats you as a secondary citizen, persecution by Law Enforcement at every turn(even in your own hometown), living conditions that would be unacceptable for even animals let alone people, crappy truckstops that offer crappier(<--- is that a real word?) food and service and a paycheck that seems to get smaller every year!!! A job that offers no real satisfaction emotionally or fiancally.

Any more dumb questions???

 

135%????

 

tru dat! i had a pretty good conversation with the female who was cutting my hair about an hour ago. there was definitely something there. i wanted to get her digits and see if she wanted to go out tomorrow night. i decided not to because it would have been a waste of time and energy due to my job. maintaining relationships is pretty much impossible. most of my long-time friendships are strained, and my circle of friends becomes smaller with each passing year.

the lifestyle truckers are too stupid to read the writing on the wall. the lifestyle truckers are also too ###### stupid to realize they're being taken advantage of, and that this is the bottom of the barrel as far as employment is concerned. they're the ones who'll chastise anybody who dares complain about the "lifestyle" of being a trucker.

 

87.6% off all statistics are made up on the spot.

 

I've given up. My circle of friends these days are the drivers at the truckstop counter who feel like having a conversation. As far as anything more intimate, one night stand is my limit. Why subject a woman who doesn't drive to a man in love with the road? Women generally hate taking second place to anything, much less a job.

 

yep, and that's why i didn't bother going any further with our conversation. i'll definitely take the one night stand or set up some kind of booty call kind of thing. as for anything more meaningful, forget it.

i was also planning on restarting school this fall. it's not going to happen because of a local employment opportunity fell through. i can't do the online because i'd become horribly distracted while i'm on the computer. i have to sit in a classroom and take it all in. it's the only way for me.

 

Not neccesarily true in ALL instances.
I met my husband while I was a waitress.
We were both in our early 40's, our children were grown, and independent of us, and so we married and I got on the truck with him.
We have been together now for nearly 4 years, maintain good, strong relationships with our families, and enjoy traveling the country together, and are extremely happy with each other, and our lifestyle.

Maybe, all it takes is a little maturity, and patience, to find that "one", who loves your "job", as much as you do? (oh, yeah, and YOU have to love your "job", too! LOL
