    It's much cheaper to live in Germany. Insurances, food, housing, booze, hookers etc is cheaper and you are doing great even if you work less than 40h/week

    Working hard and sitting behind a wheel whole your life because you don't have an actual life are different things

    You would be legal to drive a car here. Like a rental car on vacation. Not a big truck though.

    It varies from state to state. I'm in Arkansas and I think it was $42 here. Plus more if you want the hazmat endorsement. Have to pass written test and road test.
     
    JReding Thanks this.
