It didn't work out for me the first time. Will it workout if I try again?

Dude, think boot camp for the military or being stationed in Afghanistan.
Now suck it up and quit the whining and get the training done and the n be your own man ,
in your own truck.
Or else, your right, trucking is not for you.

 

Saw my BA like Rand Mc Nally threw up. Data everywhere. I drive a truck now. You might not be right for this challenge. Then again, maybe what you need. I started part time, 34 years ago.

 

@ TrainedMonley If you really have concerns on the way my cleaning company is run please Google TLC Cleaning in Lawnside, NJ

 

You seem to have some kind of issue with patience. Being in a hurry in this industry will get you or someone else hurt or worse.

 

perhaps you shoulda gotten the full concept of trucking before actually trying it.

L/O's have to run ragged. they have very high payments and there mileage pay is very low. unlike being a real O/O.

you also work for the government. and the govermnet has a clock. you really can't afford to stop. without making loads late.

working for a reefer company with a computer that runs a clock is the hardest thing to work with in trucking. but pretty soon. we'll all be on the box and running our butt off. or not as the case may be.

how that lady lease operator ran you. is reality. does she need the money. who doesn't. but she has very expensive bills to keep up for just the truck alone. the pay she makes and the payments she has. just aren't worth it. and if you take time off. ior have a breakdown. t can literally hurt you when have to make up those payments.

 

I have read the replies and yes patience is something I have to work on. I am used to running my own business and on my own schedule. Some of the replies have so many typos and so grammatically incorrect I don't see how you can come down so hard on me. Anyway thanks for those who are actually not trying to be a smart ###. There are a lot of details i left out but i never posted on this site so i wanted to see what the feedback was like. In the end we are all truck drivers and should not bash each other. someone mentioned I was whining. I am a grown man and there is no need for me to whine about my experience.

 

I did my research on here and talked to a few friends in the business. Do not get me wrong I Like the driving part, I just didn't like my trainers lifestyle and if its indicative of how it had to be then its not for me but i have a feeling it doesn't have to be that way.

 

You quit too soon. The third trainer might have been a charm.

 

I agree I should have stayed longer but I only brought $500. With me and I needed to bring another $500 to make it through training. Between showers and food I was running low on funds. When I left I told them I needed to go home and get more money and if they had a trainer for me in a few days I would get back on board. Not only did I not hear from anyone but hey paid me for days after I had left. I guess eventually they will know I am gone

 

a phone call may help.. what we have here is failure to communicate .. seems to be a common mistake in this industry too
