Speaking of calling it quits... I am just about there as well. Prolly gonna follow Andrew's lead and quit the industry as a whole and find something better that doesn't involve driving in circles.
Driving a truck isn't even that bad... neither are most of my customers. It's the stupidity of some of the people that are over me. I got a free ride to college thanks to 8 years of military service. Maybe I should start putting it into use. -
The trick is, if you go to a cheap state school stay on Chapter 30, use that for 3 years then you'll get an extra year of the post 9/11 Gi Bill
I know I don't want to drive trucks forever, but I have a sweet part time gig on Saturday/Sundays for a private fleet hauling our own product. All I do is a 50 mile shuttle turn a few times bumping docks each way. I am not allowed on a forklift and I get paid the minute i punch in till I punch out. Overtime after 40, if I work that much, and I hardly ever do.road_runner Thanks this. -

Distracted on the 2nd to last stop of the day ( 36 miles from terminal )
Had to piss, The bathrooms aren't located near the LTL door, Took a wrong exit out to the parking lot. Left my dang pallet jack at the customer.
Instead of trying too locate a decent one at home base or retrieving it tomorrow ( yeah right )
End of duty, Jumped in the 4 wheeler made the trek to the customer and picked up my favorite pallet jack. Oh well, killed 90 minutes of my home time. Worth it !
P.S. That was funny hearing the clanging of metal dragging down the cement steps and then rolled to the truck. -
Shaggy Thanks this.
