Career change to TrUcKiNg......

rofl i like that and the reality is they do want you to only have 6 months

 

KCorey what was your month like at HiLL and Hill, were you home at all?what was the yearly pay like? how long did you work there? Did trucking allow you a nice retirement? thanks for the answers

 

nope no vaseline..but i got away before they could really stick it to me...

 

Month? I worked for them allot longer then a Month..........LOL

When I as with Hill and Hill, I drove this truck:



I left Illinois for California with Meat and returned with Produce. Each turn around took 6 to 7 days, payed me $1100, and I was home for 2 to 3 days and then do it again...........Some trips (dang few) did not go as planned due the occasional problems that you can not control.

Retirement? If you want retirement, go find a union job.........Don't believe everything you hear about a 401K Plan Either.

I retired because I have a medical problem that will not allow me to get a medical card..................

 

I started with my father's company when i was 18( that is the legal answer) while i was in college, I drove only in michigan till i was 21, and moved with another company to go over the road( to get the wonder lust out of my head..... lol).now i work for company that gets me home every day,and also lets me go otr when i want to( usually when the plants shut down)

 

I never said he was all things to every driver,just that their are good companieas out there.

And we all've heard a good sob stories every now and then, while they may be true, it my opion, that first of all you do not know his spending habits,you also do not know if he is capeble of driving the miles, that woluld give a good pay check. to assume every driver deseves a great living is obserd( you know there are alot of drivers who will only work
so many hours in a day, there are also driver's that hang out in a truck stop avoiding the loads, driver's who say "no i can't take that load it is to
far from my home( NEWSFLASH you will sometime have to send you the wrong way, to get you a load) By far the biggest porion that complains are owner opps, they ***** and***** about not haveing
money, but yet there truck are pete's & kenworth's with studio slepers, they have the full fenders, and all the chicken lights they will ever need. My point is this i make a realy good livng i love my job, but i work
hard for it, there have been many times i was home late( I did'ent park at truck stop and tell everybody "there trying to screw me") I drove the thing
hard and got the job done. as a result that company gave me the good loads,because they knew it would get done.
I know bad thing's happen to good people,but more often than not they are just lazy. and there are a lot of lazy trucker's
