Pros and Cons of truck driving.

I like trucks.
And you?

 

Run hard!
Make yourself a good hand your company can depend on!
Don't believe 99% of what you are told!
Don't believe 99% of what you see!
The grass is NOT greener in the other side!
KEEP that left door closed!
Watch out in Maryland because bigfoot works for their DOT! Ask @MACK E-6

 

Pros - No Boss.
Cons - No Boss.

 

Go for it, man.

 

I never wanted to be a truck driver. Thought I had to exercise to stay alive. Worried all I would do is bloat up.
I found out about minerals. Problem solved.
I was also kinda manipulated into truck driving. I refused to go along with the destruction in the work place. They’re fighting. Not working.
I found I love OTR. They say I’m not good, I’m great at it.
I’m a loner. Not by choice. All I get out of people is strife and conflict. I won’t put up with it. I’m not stupid. I love animals because they can be loved. Real love at its highest is mankind’s only enemy.

 

Pros
I am a third generation trucker so I have always like trucking.
I don’t work with idiot cops anymore.
I am home daily and make a good living.
I leave out when I feel like and come back empty.

Cons
Receiver took 1 hour and 50 mins before he started unloading me( pro- I got detention pay)
People drive like idiots
I go places not meant for a big truck
Coworkers don’t check equipment and I have to fix it
30 minute break
Today was just shy or 14 hours, two stops and 618 miles.

 

Ok OP, I will try to help. One of the affects of driving seems to be irritation with other drivers. Truckers can’t stand each other! So that’s why you are getting a dose of negativity right away. I personally enjoy trucking for too many reasons to list.

 

Oh one more thing. There is an Atlanta in both Texas and Georgia. Almost every state has a Cleveland and a Springfield. Houston Texas is pronounced (hyoo-sten). Houston County Georgia is pronounced (hausten).
