It's a love/hate relationship! Gets in your blood, and no matter how fed up you get, mad you get, or anything else, you'd still rather drive a truck that push papers around in an office.

You have nerve....rayodeluz, Wargames and notarps4me Thank this. -
CSA2010 is the government's way to force a driver shortage (that never existed in the first place...even when times were good).
The purpose of which is to get illegal aliens behind the wheel.
Mexican trucks will be rolling across the border soon into the heart of the US.
Trucking will go the way of landscaping, construction, meat-packing, food-service, and other low-wage service industry jobs.
The wages aren't really good for the amount of time you spend on the job and being away from home.
They're just gonna keep going downhill.
Now's my chance to escape and I'm gonna take it. -

The thing is that everyone is different. As is every situation. You can take two people. Put them to work for the same company, in exactly the same situation, and have two completely opposite view points on the job, the company and life in general.
Trucking is NOT for everyone. But for those who love it, it is really the ONLY thing there is. Unfortunately, those who love it are in the vast minority.
Speaking just for myself, there were many things I loved about it, and many things I hated about it. I was only at it for 12 short years. But in those years, I had quite a bit of varied experience.
The only job I had that I hated everything and liked nothing, was aggregate hauling. Everything else had it's ups and downs.
I do not believe that I would have retired when I did, if not for health reasons. I do know that I would go back to it now, if I could. But only on a local basis. The OTR life has been made so darn difficult that I just wouldn't want to deal with it anymore.
But that is just my experience.notarps4me and Lilbit Thank this.
