Is this business really that bad??

Im glad u understand. I just wanted to give u roug idea around how much I'll b making .I'm single at the moment so I don't have any health insurance at the moment so I'm not gonna waste my money on their . U r also right 1800 is after all the expenses . But I just started working as an l/o so hopefully I can make more in future . Good luck to u anyway

 

actually the truck is already mine i bought it last week for $20,000. i think it was great deal 2003 freightliner century with detoit series 60 475 hp with 651000 miles on new tires , it was in great condition . and leasing to company is basically the company is going to find the load for me and hes gonna get 15% of the load

 

Ask yourself this,if truck driving is really that bad then why don't they just get out.People complain dailey.That's the way trk driving is.I have done my fair share of complaining.It's all what you make of itYou're not going to get rich.More people then not look at the money side to trucking because websites and recruiters paint a pretty picture and drivers soon find out that's not the case.You have to look at trucking differently then money if you choose this carreer.Do you like to travel and see alot of beautiful sites.You meet alot of people.Write down the pros and cons to trucking from what you have read and see what one outweighs the other then decide if this is what you really want to do.If you're looking on the money side then I suggest finding a different line of work.

 

I love what I do!...I paid some dues and spent a yr OTR then the next year doing regional for same company until I found a company 7 miles from my home(previous company was 125 miles from home and only allowed me to get home on weekends after I was done OTR) driving tankers, flatbeds and vans making great money and I'm home every night now!...I drive a 2000 Freightliner Classic with 1.200,000+ miles on it and it runs great!!!!!!!

 

yeah man im going on my first load tomorw . pennsylvania to arkansas.
