    Hello all i just joined the forum but ive been viewing it for a couple of months.Id like to introduce myself my name is Doug and ive been wanting to be a trucker since i was 6.I enjoy talking to truckers and hope to be one as soon as i can.I've always loved trucks and also loved traveling and being free and watching scenery.Everytime i take a roadtrip i enjoy saying hi to the truckers and the ol 2 pulls down horn. Ive met many truckers in real life some that been driving for 36 years and some for 1.Theres no doubt in my mind that i would like to change my mind about driving trucks.Thank you for reading guys and take care:biggrin_25519:

    If at 14 yrs. old I told my dad I wanted to be a trucker, I would have had false teeth at 15. Although the bad economy is ushering in a younger crowd, trucking is now a job, and no longer a lifestyle. I recommend finding something else your passionate about, and following it. The road aint no place to raise a family.

    Make sure and get your education first and then follow your dream. Start taking shop and lots of math and business classes.

    Yes your right it is bad right now.I really dont plan getting married and yadah yadah.I now your might tell me that thats what you said but you ended up so.Education i dont really like studying or reading books yadah yadah.Ive always loved trucking and not just because the trucks but the fact that your own boss and get to sleep at a diffrence spot every night and see something new.Ive been on semi trucks detached loads helped slide tandems etc with some of my friends who i know who drive.But first things first pass high school and earn my diploma:biggrin_25525: .
    Take care = D
