Over The Road Pros and Cons

FYI: It might help to explain my last few posts here.....

.....by pointing out that (as I did those) I had just finished watching the movie, "Robin Hood: Men in Tights".....

How many times have you watched it? Tell the truth!

 

Well, I'm signing off for the night and get in that warm bed.
It's freezing cold here at 54 degrees. Geeze, I'm freezing to death.

 

OTR is not bad at all if you aren't mentally weak . Iv done both . Iv had good jobs doing both don't really have a preference per say it's mostly about the job and pay it's self at this point. You can absolutely have a family and a normal life being otr. you just have to find the right job werner is a crap company that you only need to get a better job . Iv known several OTR drivers who have healthy families, I have one too .the money in most cases is better OTR not always but usually. With local you will work hard and you may be on night shift . Fuel hauling offers fantastic pay , if you are in the right city some states pay horrible , P&D can pay good but never as much as the line haul drivers who may be gone days at a time . Really you just have to figure out what you like the most and chase money. You'll see a lot of local drivers who are mentally weak, they've absolutely got to be home no exceptions even if it means a huge pay cut , then you'll have OTR drivers who live in a truck and barely make enough to pay for a pack of ramen noodles. It's up to you what the narrative is.

 

Don't worry about your first company so much just get the experience. The first job always sucks

 

That is just to funny !!!
