Personally, I'd like to see swift, CRE, and all the other megas unionize.MYSTYKRACER and Fold_Moiler Thank this. -
OP how are you going to pay for school ? What do you want to haul ? Where are you going to live ?
I retired in 2010 , used the G.I. Bill to attend a community college program , going to an approved school , can really help getting a better paying driving gig , right out the gate . I run a tanker 1k take home can be done , but have to be willing to work to get experience . -

I’d like to see it too it would be good for everyone regardless if union or not.
getting drivers to agree on anything or try to help themselves is pointless though. Too many stuck in their ways.
It’s 100 mile air rule as far as logging I believe. I don’t log anything at work. Get paid hourly with ot just like any other job.BigDog Trucker Thanks this. -

I started as a flatbed driver with Melton back in March. Things have slowed up here recently and because of some time off work I've made as little as $300/wk gross. But that was mostly cause of the time off. I've made as much as $1495 one week. I average between $800 to 1000 gross each week.
The work is hard but mostly I like the simplicity of being a truck driver. I hate sitting around truckstops when things are slow. If you've got a wife or family, I think you'll find it's really hard.
Finally, don't let some company pay for your schooling and be their #####. As a veteran, the Gov't ought to help you thru VA VocRehab. They'll pay for it and then you can get a company to reimburse you for it. The VA in Asheville NC is awesome. So is Transtech Trucking School in Arden, NC.INRUT Thanks this.
