One thing that drivers have to get under control: they can't get too emotionally invested in trucking. It will eat you alive quick, fast, and in a hurry. Trucking has a lot of bull ####, but there is also a lot of good to it as well. Wait times are certainly unavoidable occasions. It takes time to find your footing in this industry. It don't happen in 1 year either. However, you can't allow yourself to get burned out. You have to relax and get away from trucking for a while. Sometimes you go home, sometimes you eat a steak dinner, sometimes you rent a motel room and drink beer til you pass out and get a soul cleansing sleep. Any of those work for me, but you gotta keep yourself from getting too emotionally invested in work. You'll have to find what works for ya. My hope is that you hang in there, and find a company that would satisfy your needs. Good luck to ya driver!

How long have you been at your current company. If your wanting a switch you things up maybe try local before
changing careers. One or two bad companies do not make them all badRideandrepair and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
In case anyone hasn't heard there is a labor SHORTAGE right now.
Convenience stores pay $25/hrs. Warehouse work pays $30 an hour. You have to be willing to work obviously.
That's why driver salaries are going to skyrocket very soon. I'm talking $150k yr range. Woe to those companies who don't see it.bentstrider83 and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
