Transition Out of Trucking...

Yes . 1000 gross.. working 70+ hours a week.. no life. Traffic stress. Sitting dull at 65mph.... Babysitting all the idiot 4 wheelers out there... Dealing with all the B's laws... Not worth it really

 

My biggest peeves are sitting laying for long periods,garbage food,idiot drivers,risking ruining a perfect driving record,death,lonliness.

 

Yup.. I'll be sitting for 24 till my next delivery... I should be done by the end of the year... Today in Portland this "guy" break checks me as we're merging into i5 North. The whatever system tis Freightliner has kicks in and slams on the break... I had 0 control (it didn't need to do that) and then since it's automatic it took a few seconds to want to accelerate again.. made a show out of nothing.. I felt my blood boil as I sat there powerless...

 

I'm in Kent ,Washington. Came from Cali up I-5. The mountains sucked.

 

I'm in a 200 hour mentorship. Thinking of giving up. If I wasn't so far from Syracuse,I'd leave now. My car is at terminal. I live in Ma.

 

I ran that route with knight a lot. I actually like it. I'm here at the pilot in Tumwater.

 

Waiting for my girlfriend to finish a course and gets a decent job and I'm out. Few months tops. I already have 3 years. 1 In oilfield and 2 OTR. I should be good to do a better trucking job or leave it all together. But I don't want to do OTR again. At least in the oilfield I made $250-300 daily and had 2 days off a week... Here i work more and maybe average 125-175 daily lol.. so sad

 

Think I'm taking an Uber to Seattle airport for rental car & driving to syracuse

 

No, don't abandon truck... Suck it up and drive back... It's a career killer... You might regret it down the road...

 

I'm training for Yard Spotter. Looks like I might finally get out of OTR.

Maybe even taking College classes again if I have time and catch up on bills.
