Is Part Time or Seasonal Driving Possible?

Correct, and then you guys advised me to get some experience and see how it goes. I don't mind taking that advice. I'm terrified a little but it's just because I don't want to hurt anybody. A friend of my family made a very painful decision once. He was on a bridge and some weird thing happened (I was young so I don't recall the fine details). But he had to make a split second decision to A) hit the car in front of him, thereby killing a child that he saw in a car seat or B) veer and risk his own life. He died that day because he couldn't risk killing an innocent child. I was affected by that and although I really see the potential in trucking, I remain fearful of having to make a similar decision. Please don't criticize me. I'm here for a peaceful dialog about an industry we all love (and I'm a kind person).

 

This is what you say now and that's what I thought before taking my job; however, I've got to tell you it's a boring existence. I'm not much of an explorer so I don't travel much. When I'm off, I sit here and read etc. I think some light driving could be cool.

Yes, this is a great idea - except the oil / propane delivery. No matter what I decide to do, I will never pursue HAZMAT.

 

My original idea was to own a truck and make $ while other people drive it, but I was advised to maybe try a little driving to get more familiar w/ the industry. That's all.

I have no idea what this says or means...

ALSO: Be nice, dude. Stop being skeptical and cynical. Nobody's hurting you or your family, so why go on the attack for no reason at all. I'm a cool guy just asking questions based on your areas of expertise. If you were seeking info that I could help with, I'd share with you without second-guessing you. I know you're full of testosterone and all pumped while being on break from your heavy truck driving, but please don't target me.

 

Oh boy! So, i guess the game is that newbies work full time at low rates so that the rest can go toward offsetting the higher insurance rates.
