is local worth it ?

Trucks do rock,I just don't want to live in a 9x6 box. And for truck stops thats all good too if you like a bunch of dirty stinky drivers that know everything. Lol

 

Well the nearest local jobs are 70 miles from my house and a 140 mile daily commute isn't happening. I'm only out 4 or 5 days at a time and thoroughly enjoy my job. To each their own I guess.

 

I bid a yard slot in 2011 and you will be whipping wagons of all sizes into doors with precision after about a week. The funny part was how hard hooking sets with a truck was when you were used to the Ottawa. It was like trying to throw a ball with your off hand.

 

I agree with you 100%, I now laugh at them, when i get the urge to hit the road I'll do it on my vacation.

 

Not sure how you figure that? You are not looking in the right places. I run 276 miles a day and gross 1400-1450 a week, but I guess local is a huge pay cut?

 

You should see the one my company has in Detroit, backing a trailer every 3 minutes in the snow like a maniac.
