This isn't really an update. Just a light hearted comment from what wisdom I might have. My signature phrase.
Someone once told me to be a trucker you have to love it, or be crazy.
I do it for both reasons.
Why do most new drivers quit?

You necromancers just fooled me into going through 6 pages of comments and thanking posts before i realized how old this thread was darnit lol. Well now that i’m here I think number one reason for quitting is the long hours. Number 2 reason is they don’t enjoy the lifestyle.

You know I'm really motivated to give this career a chance but what is putting me off is the chance of becoming stranded in a snow storm or getting that burned out feeling after driving 500 miles.. my question for all the truckers is.. does the pay really get better after that first year? I'm currently a custodian at a school (free benefits) and decent pay but I keep thinking about trucking.. I'm due to start Schneider next week but going will risk this custodial job. I don't know what to do. After four blocked toilets, including one who had the runs literally.. I'm ready for a career change. I guess I could always get another janitorial gig if SNI doesn't work out and I have to come back with my tail between my legs.
