Other than not being home, can I still have a life?

At Swift when I teamed we got most of the loads that were over 600 miles and required expedient delivery. They run the dog #### out of teams. Don’t know how Schneider does it, but at Swift I had loads pulled off of me that a planner gave me by mistake and when I demanded it back they would tell me it is a team load. 1xxx miles and a day and a half tops to deliver. #### that’s a solo load IMO.

 

The only gains you’ll be making as a truck driver will be in your dominant arm, your calves and your mid section.

 

Seems to me that the OP didn’t like what they heard and bailed.

 

Not to complain, but my job stinks. Paid to sit. Cable TV, internet, kitchen, living quarters. Lucked out I guess.

 

So u get paid to watch Andy Griffith Show?

 

Dude, if I was single I’d be in the oil fields too. But my 9-5 tanker gig ain’t half bad.

I think I’m gonna get into road construction this summer though and take winters off.

 

If you wanna say that, sure!

 

in the time most truckers run their mouth they could probably find a gym and run on a treadmill lol

 

Slow your roll, slick.

Yeah, hypocracy.

 

Right. And you have absolutely nothing in common with the OP and their situation.
