What's your life like as an OTR trucker?

Don't ever make a decision based on money kid. Especially entering healthcare. I did that and ended up like nick cage seeing dead ppl driving past certain places and telling druggies to just kill themselves please. (After you pick them up for the sixth time and repeat yourself 50000000 times saying "what did you take")

Kicked myself out because I didn't belong there but saved some lives in the process. Had its highs but the lows are well just low.

Trucking was good to me otr.
Do the navy till youre at least 21 a lot of these stupid trucking companies won't hire you until you are 21-23 some even 25-26.

They don't have any nuts and are at the mercy of insurance companies and ran by fear of litigation.(just like healthcare)

But hey life ain't fair get used to it.

Hop in a truck live in it but once you've been everywhere it gets old quick.

 

Yes, those also.

 

If you want to join the service then be an Officer. Go to college. Chicks like dress blues but chicks like dress blues with metal bars on the collar even better.

 

Plus instead of being the guy who picks up cigarette butts, you'll be the guy who tells other guys to pick up cigarette butts.

 

I joined the Marines at 18, we were allowed to drink 3.2 beer in the E club on base. 3.2 is watered down beer but what we would do is order it in pitchers and instead of pouring it into glasses, we just order a whole pitcher and drink out of that. The club had to buy hundreds of pitchers when the monkey see monkey do went into full press the next weekend.

Turned 19 and flew over to Okinawa Japan and we could drink anything on or off base except anything with Absinthe in it.

Turned 20 and was sent back to Norfolk VA we had a little bar near our barracks, we could drink beer up in there, either tap 3.2 or bottled/canned beer, no hard liquor. We would often go down to the Navy Eclub and pick up the Navy wives whose husbands were out on ship. Go off base get carded though.

 

Nice of you to look after your fellow military men's wives while they were deployed. Not, that's a d**k move.
