Alright! Enough BS, do you expect me to believe that......

1) I can make a decent living driving a truck? What?
2) I can own my own business and take it with me wherever I go?
3) the board of directors of my little company can meet in a phone booth?
4) I can go for hours at a time without talking to another human being?
5) I can be surprised when I find out where I'm headed next?
6) I can see the Mississippi River, the Grand Canyon, the Space Needle, and Nebraska cornfields all in the same week - and somebody's paying me to do it?
7) I can get health, dental, vision, 401k, life insurance, paid vacations and I'm still gonna get a paycheck every week or so?
8) I've got friends everywhere I go?
9) I can go on-line for a laugh or advice whenever/wherever I'm stopped?
10) I can stop and take a break, a nap, a picture, a ......, any time I want to as long as I'm on schedule?

Yeah, I know, kinda smaltzy and unrealistic! But, hey, a fella can dream, right?

 

You can believe it...I was in Kentucky on monday last week Arkansas on Wed., Oklahoma and Colorado on Thursday and Spent the weekend in Vail, Co. Today I'm in Salt Lake City, UT. and tonight I'm headed for Nebraska/Iowa.

After that...We'll see!

 

Awesome! ####, ####, ####!!!! All I got on tap for this week is 4 routes per day picking up little kiddies and taking them to school and back home. I really don't mind, as a matter of fact I enjoy most aspects of the job. Talk about having to be safety conscious - and doing it with 50+ little mouths going at the same time. But, as long as there's no bloodshed, I figure I had a good day.
I am itching to get to driving school (scheduled next summer at jr college) then find out if I'm cut out to be a trucker.
Thanks,

Sounds like a GREAT JOB! Do you know where I can apply???
Trucking was my DREAM JOB, but it's turning into my NIGHTMARE!

 

I'm not hiring drivers from you area at this time....


I always wanted to say that!

 

You're not fooling me for one minute Dave!

 

Do you think companies decide where they're not hiring drivers from - based on where TruckerDave happens to be at the time?

 

Hi, sound's like your job is lifeline, you can ether make it a nightmare or a joy too do that's up too you, not the job, and i took some pretty crappy loads too, but hey it's gotta be done,but just put the hammer down and get it there , were you put up with more crappy doc workers but just laugh at em ,its really drives em nuts Everett.

 

Let's be fair to Dave here...He works for Knight!

He has a reason to be miserable.

 

Oops! I forgot - you got a point BlackW. Nah, Dave's been a great friend for the short time I've been a member of this forum. Ya wanna get him fired up - talk about old navy - and I'm not talking about clothes!
