Dont believe the new drivers

Going with the OP's assertion that drivers are not making money... the trucking companies are doing drivers a favor by not providing them excess money with which to buy excess food!

 

Did my time with the big carriers and this past Feb. got a driving job that I'm home at night and we do not work week-ends..... as you said money was dam good but a lot comes with it... I had 16yrs and said bye-bye... my bills are paid, drive a new truck... wife drives a newer car and all is good.. Driving is what you make of it.. good-luck and make the best of it

 

thank ya sir im very proud of the trash hauling gig...they treat me like family i cant complain....well i do have one id rather drive a 379 pete but as of right now its not in the cards...give me some time ill get him to buy one lol

 

..i was gonna say..maybe cheaper lot lizards...let go of the 150 dollar ones in breezewood and opt for the 10 dollars in detroit..lol

 

$200 a week??? #### I don't spend anywhere near that and I ain't a "broke" company driver. Even when I was a company driver I didn't spend that much. Seems to me someone needs to learn how to budget their money.

 

LOL I'm 6', 180 pounds. I'm in excellent physical shape. If I ever get looking like some of these fatasses out on the road, I hope someone shoots me.

 

Glad I could help.

 

just finished my first week with a trainer he doesnt do the walmart thing like i plan on once i'm in my own truck. All together I have spent about $150 that includes food a flying J mug 3$ a couple of those little piggy banks with the states on them as a souvenir a carton of smokes 40$ as opposed to 89$ in Mass. I have a fridge micro and toaster and also a coffee maker waiting for me once I upgrade from training and you bet your ### my spending is getting kicked way down to about 40$ a wk. I also bought a headset 99$ for the phone but at the same time I'm not worried about it I'm definately not rich but I'm 22 live at home and have no kids so I don't sweat it so much. but once I get my own truck I definately will buckle down have a wedding to pay for in 2.5years

 

Aint this country great. You can work for a bad company and make no money and yet still manage to gain 100 pounds. LOL

 

Lol. Hur hur.
