I quit my job as a math teacher to become a long-haul truck driver.

HHMMM.....let's see

teacher...no respect, not much pay for the hours worked

trucker....no respect, not much pay for the hours worked....

yup....a lateral move wins every time.........

as a teacher, she sure ain't learnt nuffin much.....

 

well i am POSITIVE her ATTITUDE will change in the coming months, and she will only find SATISFACTION in a clean restroom, if she can find one.

 

That was a cool article! The selling point about trucking is the freedom on the open road. Inside the truck, it's your own world. Then the scenery you see all of over the country is the greatest show ever, better than cable lol....I felt her story very personally.

 

But now she doesn't have to go to meetings.

Or take "professional development" classes that aren't aligned with state standards, or worse are in no way related to her job.

No more high stakes tests.

Most importantly- no more parents. I'd rather deal with teamster lumpers on a daily basis than parents.

 

Or a clean shower

 

Come on. Be honest here. The only scenery we see is from the highway. No need to glamorize it.

 

It's still pretty though...........
