Well a few weeks of reading the forums while job searching I have learned plenty..
First was all training companies suck..Well to the 4 or 5 people who dropped or flopped..
By dedicating a year to a truck, driving and learning I'm gonna be dead broke and worn out..well thanks to our current president I have 3 years practice and have excelled at it without complaining..ya I am quitting a decent job to do this..
At .29 cpm if I drive 59 mph for 10 minutes I can buy a Venti Starbucks iced coffee..we all have our habits..
and last there are a bunch of good people in the trucking industry and I am happy to be part of it..Thanks all..
Great info, thanks

more regulations is what happened to trucking...and you can't say it was for the better...
Gizmo_Man Thanks this. -

I wish you well in finding a Starpuke's that has truck parking.
at 29¢ per mile, you'll be able to buy a McDonalds coffee at any size, for $1.00
A decent job, is still a decent job. You really think trucking is a piece of cake??
Maybe you ought to apply for a "leave of absence" from your current employer, I have a sneaky suspicion you will go back.
And you seriously think that trucking "has a bunch of good people"??
who fed you that line of crap???Last edited: Apr 8, 2012

Wow..I'm in the industry..manage a fleet of military lease trucks..and it is not a spur of the moment thought..basically waiting for the right time to make the move..
lots of assumptions only get ya more confused ya think... -
SO you only manage a fleet, and you think that this industry is still good to get into??
I want whatever stuff you are smoking.
Go manage a "fleet" at Penske or Ryder, or Ruan. You'll make MORE MONEY, and have REGULAR hours, and would actually be able to park your personal vehicle at a Starpukes. -
Really..I truely enjoy all the great advice. .problem being You assume lots..I wanna drive..been planning the move for a couple of years..personal thing it's what I want to do..debt free..not some struggling kid leaving the wife and kiddies..it's a choice.
Now with all your insight and knowledge explain why if its such a horrible profession your still here? -
Cuz my retirement isn't too far away, and I wish NOT to learn anything new and start all over again.
I pity those that wish to get into this industry, when they already have a "decent" job. It's gonnabe the biggest mistake people like this make.
