To summarize what I have learned at this forum:
1. All trucking companies suck.
2. Truck driving pay sucks. You will end up $150.00 in the hole after a 3000 mile run as a company driver.
3. You will get divorced....even if you're not married.
4. Your dog will run off.
5. You must stay out for 51 weeks and 6 days.
6. You don't ever get to actually drive the truck. You just sit in it waiting for the fix it shop to get to you, the shipper or receiver to load or unload you, your DM to find a load for you (which he/she tells you that all freight has stopped in the USA).
7. If you do the Fleece program and don't earn enough money to make the payment, the trucking company will burn your house down and execute your family.
8. Lot lizards take debit cards now.(Just run the card thru the slot)
9. New drivers are too busy running over sh#t and backing into things just trying to get out of the yard and have too many accident reports to fill out to even worry about getting a load.
10. All trucks are governed at 25mph.
11. No other driver can drive except you.
12. All trucks are POS and have 18,365,457 miles or more on them and are like shopping carts with that 1 wheel that goes crazy all the time.
13. You cannot idle a truck for more than 3 seconds at a time or the company will have you assassinated.
14. You have ate so much greasy truck stop food that you can now piss butter.
15. If your run goes thru the mountains, you will never be seen or heard from again.
16. The US is littered with abandoned trucks.
17. NYC is the worst place to drive thru and your wheels will get stolen off of your truck while you're moving.
18. All driver trainers are pill popping, coke snorting, bus hijacking psychos.
19. No one understands what the hell anybody is saying on the CB.
20. You are better off flipping burgers than driving a truck.
So why do you drive a truck for a living?
Why do you do it?
