I was a _________ before trucking....

Spent twenty plus years in new home construction. Mostly drywall and painting, some remodeling etc.. Finally got something that gives me some independance while someone else pays the bills. Knew I should have done this years ago!

When I was 18 I joined the army they trained me as an operating room technician.I spent the next 32 years passing instrument on everything from craniotomy(brain surgery) to podiatry (foot surgery) I saw everything in between and most of it ain't pretty. I took crap from surgeon who where hacks and I worked for guys who where excellent.I hated 80 percent of it and I always wanted to be a Driver from the time I was a little boy.Notice I said Driver and not Trucker because I believe there is a big difference.On my best paycheck in Arizona I was making 22.50 and hour that took me thirty years to do on my worst here in Arkansas 14.50 an hour after the same number of years.I find driving way more rewarding both financially and emotionally

 

Yeah, many of 'us' have been in your position and made more $$$; but there is 'a reward' in driving (peace of mind for one)....not perfect---need to get with the right co.---but can be rewarding!!

 

started at farmers market loading them for a short time then got into driving them and went from there to what i do today.
