I think you're getting it. This isn't a job, never was. It's a lifestyle, and not everyone is suited to it. Now someone who is comfortable tossing their ditty bag on their rack and heading off to who knows where not knowing when they'll be back. That person is going to be comfortable climbing in the cab of a truck and putting it in the wind. It's the same gypsy soul. You can't train those people. We're born this way. Good luck and stay safe.
Am I out of my mind for wanting to do this ?

Well I have 2 drivers over the age of 40 that had other careers before trucking, both also had 4 yrs military, they tell me they are making more money now than they ever made. They should make 70-75 k this year and only have 3 yrs trucking experience. I try to always tell them to ignore the naysayers and negativity from shippers, receivers or anyone else. Most of those guys are pissed because they are only making 25 to 30 k a year. Tell the drivers they would have a bad attitude if that was all they made. So we always get a good laugh out of it.

Or maybe I just need a good adventure ?
I’ve been very happily married to the same woman for almost 30 years and truth be told, it’s been the best thirty years of her life.
Perhaps you missed it, but I was a career Navy man. This won’t be the first time I’ve been away from home. Some people are just geared for certain lifestyles. Judging by your complaints of the industry inconveniences, perhaps you should be examining your own suitability. Just an observation. -
