L.O.I. aka: Lack of Interest days. Those are days when the loads pay so little, have way to many stops or go to either the armpit or buttcrack of some god forsaken area.
Seems I have more of them days lately. It starts off all rosy and good and by the time the first hour has passed you done heard coutless lies or crap. You find yourself fixated on some daydream and the day has gone by and you realize you could have been doing something else other than load planning.
I have to say after the new wore off all the travelling and I found out how bad these brokers were abusing me with cheap crap this job could never pay what it's really worth. nearing the seven year completion mark I have to wonder how some of you have done it for so many years? Other then the tax deductions I take that have me paying near zero in taxes this career choise is far from what anyone thinks it is. Why anyone would want to make this a life choice is beyond any reason I can come up with I'm waiting on my ship to come in so I can cast fo this boat anchor called trucking.
Does anyone else ever feel like this?
Anyone else have L.O.I. days?

I'm having one of those days today..

They's nice people but way they do business sucks main redeeming factor is they pay real quick. I looked back at their account and every load I've done for them was either going to no load back land or some other problem with their information. Today has been filled with brokers who think all drivers are dumb and can't figure they're paying nothing. I read somewhere truck drivers have a shorter life expectancy womder why? -

Usually when I'm in the northeast and trying to determine whether to deadhead out or keep looking for something decent.

The only thing I don't like about trucking is, and its not really a trucking issue, I have to have a physical street address to get a checking account. I don't have anyone I can use for an address so I maintain a dumpy mobile home to use as my mailbox. Its the cheapest way I could go and I get some storage for my useless junk as well. If it wasn't for that I'd live in my truck 100% full time until they had to pry my cold dead fingers off the steering wheel.
Truckin ain't a job, its a lifestyle.yotaman and GreyBeardVa Thank this. -
