the moral of the story ….do not venture more than 20 mi from home without some $$ in your pocket. Not sure why so many newbies are dead broke and then get into trucking.

Think about it. Minimal training and commitment to make "Big Bucks" according to the recruiters. Every recruiter tells you "It's all taken care of! We care about you!" So the wide-eyed newbie shows up in prime position to get royally screwed.
It's not like trucking companies are targeting low income, limited resource or opportunity communities or anything. They know EXACTLY the type of recruit they want. And it ain't most of us here on this forum.hauler881, bryan21384, Numbnuts69 and 5 others Thank this. -

We are not seeing a large number of young, skilled, and interested people deciding to be truckers because the field overall offers very little to entice them. Live in a truck about the same size as an average prison cell for weeks or months at a time for $30-$40,000 per year? No thanks! There are plenty of other options with the same overall training period that earn more income more quickly and offer better benefits and treatment out the gate. Welding comes to mind. So does CNC Programming and Machining.
If I had to do it again, I would've gone for Machinist, myself.hauler881, homeskillet, bryan21384 and 6 others Thank this. -

It can be very difficult if you’re left high and dry without any funds available.

People always jump to the conclusion that's it's due to bad choices.
When it could be a stitsuation like having been off work for a bit then winding up in emergency surgery with out heath insurance then being restricted from going back to work for awhile because of the surgery.
Or many other reasons. If life has never sucker punched you and then kicked you while your down you'll never understand how someone could wind up in this position.hauler881, whitelinequeen, homeskillet and 6 others Thank this. -

Maybe he should set up a GoFundMe page? And some of you can send him cash, help a fellow trucker.

Donald Trump has failed and been worse than broke several times in his life. Yet he always came back.
