I'm just a company driver loser, kicked around buying my own truck a couple of times but as it stands right now I just drive for a small outfit north of pittsburgh PA.
What would you do?

i have been thinking of possibly opening a gun shop. i do some light smithing, i know a local gun builder and i can get the ffl. just dont know if i want all the hassle. but its about the only other thing i can think i would want to do other then truck -
Smart thinking on your part. I always kept a little notebook & kept it updated with a backup plan. Constantly researching other companies and always knew exactly where to go if something happened to current job. It kept me from ever being unemployed. I always looked at their benefits and 401K because someday I didn't want to be stuck with only social security.

Realistically though i cant find to many places that i can get as many miles a week and still be home every weekend unless i choose otherwise.

You have a pretty good job hors, cpape seems like a good guy and like he really respects his drivers. I think anyone that lives around Iowa should consider working for pape.

Yeah they are great people to work for and will work with you on everything. When i was thinking about getting my own truck cpape's dad pulled me aside and suggested that i wait a while till i get a feel for the industry and make all my screw ups on his dime. If that doesn't tell you something about the company then i don't know what does.
SHC, The Challenger, Logan76 and 2 others Thank this. -
this sounds like a quote from some one's ex wife.
