    I appreciate this forum being available to guys like me. I am looking for a career change, love driving and seeing America so it seems like trucking would be a logical choice. I have the usual questions about how to start, how much can I expect to make and which company is the most honest to deal with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated by me and my family. Thanks Bubba

    Which company and how much. Those are debated a lot. One guy will tell you company X is terrible, another says they're great. How much depends on what you haul, where, experience. But dont look at dollars as the only focus. Family time and how you're treated by a company and their customers makes a big difference. Think about what you really want and do the research. Just my thoughts
