When I entered the trucking business I was 23 and was barely making 160 a week working at a pizza shop at the mall. So, pretty broke. I quit for a while and reentered into it when I was completely unemployed and going nowhere. That CDL is a lifesaver to fall back on. I am not trucking now but trucking led me to the nice place in my life I am at now, lot of money to be made trucking which is why I am considering reentering into it

I started at the farm got money from my father when I needed it. When I started driving in the oilfields it was like I had just won the lottery.

Very humbling post. Exactly what I reminded myself when the days, dispatches and highways get rough. When I started, I had about $40 in my pocket and 2 packs of cigarettes. A very patient new wife and a newborn. When it seems easy to complain and whine, I always think about the struggle just getting through orientation. Trucking isnt easy, but a hardworking and determined man can make it. I ran hard, made dumb mistakes and learned fast. I remember those tough days....promised my wife I would drive my ### off to take care of her and through God's grace we made it. This post really has me thinking back.....

When drivers complain about everything under the sun, I remember days when I couldn't wait to wake up and my direct deposit would be in by the time I woke. I remember the great feeling of sending money home. I remember applying advice and watching it pan out. I remember where I came from. Always will.
