Possible New Driver

See America. High pay, Freedom of the road, Drive a "new truck".

 

You've got that recruiter speak down.

 

You need to get your head examined dude!
Trucking (as a company driver) is for losers,morons that have no other marketable skills.It's simple menial job with a lot of hours but (for most) without overtime.
And you won't make more money with time.In this bussines nobody wants to pay for experience. At least not any significant amount.
Now go see a doctor.

 

Do you wanna travel the states and see the country? Become a truck driver and drive by all the cool places you wish you could experience.

 

"All the glory"! You obviously know nothing about Trucking.
Didn't see any glory last night at McLane warehause where they had all drivers park outside the gate and walk in heavy rain to guard shack.
Treated us worse than stray dogs.
It was 1 am and raining heavily,maybe that's why I couldn't see " all the glory".

 

Many trucking companies third hire newbies pay Tuition Reimbursement TR to new hires IF THEY HAVE A STUDENT LOAN. They pay nothing if you paid for CDL out of your own pocket. Look into WIA or WOIA through unemployment office. Some people get grants to go to CDL school. Most importantly find the company you will work for before going to CDL school.

 

Just wait till he has to poop in a bag.

 

Thank God I only had to do it once.
He's got what seems like a decent career with decent pay and I bet possible advancement and he wants to drive a truck!

 

Or steps in a pile at the flying j while trying to walk at night and fend of beggars and lot lizards only to get inside and find 2 wrinkled hot dogs for food and a syringe stuck in your shoe. That's the "glory" of the American highway right there. Anyone want to tell him about Trucker bombs, #### flingers, unpaid layovers, Christmas over the telephone, or any of the other "glory"?

 

Well there you have it OP. Still think driving a big shiny truck down the Interstate is for you. America would come to a stand still without these hard working men & women. My hat is off to these folks.
