Did OTR for a year and quickly realized it wasn't my kind of lifestyle. I prefer to be active and being away from hockey leagues really hurt. I also enjoy being social with family and friends and having irregular days off every 3-4 weeks was not cutting it. Stayed my year, found something 10x better and been enjoying life since then.
Does trucking really ruin your life at home?

longbedGTs Thanks this. -
So I need to learn to start talking to the guys at truck stops cuz that's my pool of friends now. And buy my truck some bling being that she's my new significant other...
Oddly enough, after this thread and some thought, I'm ok with that. The money is good, I like the traveling and I love driving. OTR is still the best place for me. -
Opendeckin Thanks this.

Trucking ruined my marriage. Wife said I was home too much with the employer I was with at the time and it cut into her fun time with her boyfriend.
born&raisedintheusa and RedRover Thank this. -
That #### boyfriend, I tell her as long as he helps with the bills its all good.

I do wish ya good luck, and THANKS for keeping our stores filled. Remember there are many jobs that mess with your personal/social life. I have been at my (non-trucking) job 20 years and I can't plan to spend a evening with my wife, or Holidays with my family, or go to a family funeral or wedding as they happen. It's the price I pay to put over $100K in our bank account. Ask your self "is what I'm paid worth what I get?". It's 100% your call, because you have to live the life you pick. -
