If you don't recommend trucking then what?

All those drivers complaining about how awful trucking is, wouldn't do anything else. It's all talk and no action. They don't take their own advice.

Social influencer seems to be the way out of doing any real hard, responsible, satisfying work these days. Wait til those people find out there's no long term gain to it. Here today, gone tomorrow.

 

I would vehemently disagree with your statement....3d generation 45+ years
I do not/will not recommend today’s joke of a slave labor industry to anyone...And it get worse by the day...you talk about 6 figures available...but very few and far between(and yes I do make over 100k-/part time semi retired
But I’m not talking about me
When you quantify the time spent ...it’s still barely above minimum wage...add the excruciating cost of living on the road...lack of decent facilities etc...it doesn’t begin to add up
Especially considering the amount of $$ available at any skilled trade today...
Trade schools...industry training programs abound.,.plenty of work well over 100k on 50 hours or less 5 days a week home every nite...

My uncle said pretty much the same when he drove for Roadway Express in the 1940's and 1950's.
He also said trucking going downhill fast because of the low quality new drivers being hired.

Years ago when I was in the Navy, was hitchhiking trying get home. A Poole Truck Line driver picked me up. I told him I'd like to be a trucker some day. He said don't do it, it's a horrible way to make a living. Trust me, you don't ever want to be a trucker. Find something else to do.

 

Move to a boom town and get on with a municipality and help them with the work load. New Braunfels Texas comes to mind.
