Why not drive a truck?

Because we get absolutely no respect from the general public and are viewed as less than dirt? Then again i view many truckers as less than dirt myself.The biggest reason not to is youre basically a homeless person who divorces himself from his hometown and never sees his friends and family.Like right now im at a pilot near indianapolis for the night. There is not a single person or reason for me to be at a ####### random truck stop in IN. But alas, here i am. Tomorrow i will be in a different place i equally couldnt care less about.

 

Have another drink.

 

I will drink to not giving a hoot of what the brain dead mindless masses think of me. When brains are outlawed, only outlaws will have brains. To those of you that have not fallen to the zombie epidemic, I salute you.

 

Good Luck Scott. And to the one poster, who gives a crap about smoking a joint with your buddies? I wouldn't associate with druggies. Plenty of other job fields have these things called random drug tests.

 

Medic!! We need one of those nice white jackets with the long sleeves.

 

Almost all new driver severely underestimate the importance of home time. You may be single and it not be very important that you get back to city A, but time off will help you stay sane, if only to get caught up on your sleep. Not enough hometime is usually one of the top reasons new driver quit.

 

You got a prehire and invite to orientation.... Not a job offer.

Correction.

Get as many of those as you can find guy!

Good luck to you. Enjoy the process. Looking back it was a fun experience getting wined and dined like some NBA superstar or some junk.

...just know those days are about to be over as soon as you sign the bottom line.
