    Men are success objects. Too many jobs is signaling he is unreliable and makes bad choices. It's like buying a Yugo. There is a chance it will never leave you stranded, but not much of a chance.

    Well, she worked a lot of overtime during that time to make up,

    And it wasn’t setting a good example for the children.

    Those things actually weren't bad. Untill it hit 60k miles when the timing belt broke. But not having ac was a no go for me.

    Makes a fella grow up and learn to take bite of that #### sandwich sometimes. The key is to not think about the #### but focus on the peanuts

    Why not go back to food service then? You stuck it out 2 years, so there must have been something you liked.

    It’s busy, physical work that pays well - maybe that’s what you’re better suited to.

    I am waiting for some ****** clown to suggest that the OP go O/O.

    You know the pitch;

    You don't like working for someone else?


    You know you are missing out on the big bucks?

    Have a lousy driving record and can't find anything but 1099 jobs where you have to learn two more languages fluently, get new shirts and learn how to walk in flip flops.

    Become an Owner Operator, make the big bucks and be your own boss.

    No more pushy dispatchers, no more safety people who never had to learn how to spell T R U C K let alone know what one is, no more driver facing cameras, no more dealing with a customer who is mean to you because you are one of many at a company that is the same as the other ones.

    You too can now piss anywhere you want, at the shippers, in the walmart parking lot, even in the fuel aisle.

    Learn how to pitch a bags of garbage and your own crap out the window while driving down the highway and hitting the car or even A truck trying to pass you sqaure in the windshield.

    DRIVER! GO GET YOUR TRUCK NOW!
    And make the big bucks!

    You gotta stick it out and put up with some crap to make it. Right now sounds like an immaturity issue. Don't take it wrong, it's constructive criticism. What are a few of these companies you worked for? Many here have made it and probably worked for some of the same companies you did. I don't look at YouTube much but once and a while I check it out see whays going on.. There is a guy on YouTube that works for Crete that made a plan, kept his eye on the ball and just purchased his own truck with the money he made trucking. You gotta keep your head down, work hard and stick it out. His channel is the Living Freed channel on youtube. There is a lot of bs on those trucking channels but he seems legit.
     
    Space Truckin, lual, tscottme and 2 others Thank this.

    This post has the feel of a crybaby. You're not mentally tough enough to be in this industry. You gotta pay some dues if you want the good money. You said you don't like the grump old truckers yet you sound like one in your post. The irony.
