Consider yourself Warned about trucking!

I dont know what they make really but hell riding around on a john deere zero turn mower listening to the radio for 8 hours sounds great to me at times

Wonder if the golf courses are hiring

 

All I know is now ill probably do this till I retire but it's worth it. But that's what I'm looking forward to retirement.

 

That's all it.......... will ever be

 

You did realize before you became a truck driver, that you'd be sitting by yourself all day, every day driving down the interstate highway....didn't you???

 

You must not have done enough homework. Do you know what the driver turnover rate is for OTR carriers ? Did you check the size of carrier fleets in the past few years ?
For example , Werner reduced its fleet 10% last year and moved 11% less freight. So why are newbies always going to orientation at Werner ?
The same reason they are going to other BFI carrier orientation -to fill seats in trucks abandoned by other newbies.

 

For me, i enjoyed trucking, its the regulations that i could live with out, i can drive the heck out that truck, most time beating the same load , it was 2 part load, i had part 1 , they had part 2, guess who was on time, yup, me, but i always was a loner all my life, i hate crowds, i am eye of dark child, so i like too run at night and run hard, i enjoy getting up at the crack of dawn , depending on the load , if driving at night or night or both, i'm used too driving on 5 hours sleep, then i gotta go, but the most thing i miss driving is looking at all the scenery , you just cant get just looking at a regular job, seen things you can't see at a regular jobs, get free tours, like the door handels i deliverd too gm and while trl was being unload , he said jump on his golf cart , now granted the smell in this auto plant was horrible, but too see a car made in front of you is out this world, i really like wacthing that 4 story press , they take a big sheet of tin, and with a foot pedal, comes down and makes a whole side of a car, yes i enjoy trucking, but you cant see these things behind a desk, so this poster needs too get his feet wet first and then post , like id say 3 years of trucking, a year is not to just not long enuff time too post like that.and far as pay goes, i never got rich in pay, but i got rich in the being of smells of the oranges out in ca, or walking, as i like too walk ,in differnt towns, if i go back out now, most companys now have 401 k and most have health benfits, that what i be looking at, at my present day job, i started my 401 k 6 months ago and with only 25 bucks outa my little check , thats not gonna hurt me, so after all this i bank in at 765 granted thats not much, but hey thats more then i had a few months ago, at 0 balance and if i get a trucking job this go with me.

 

OMG you mean I have to WORK for my money!!?? That ain't fair...I just want to sit on my a__ and be paid for doing nothing!! gimme gimme gimme



Seriously...people with that mentality need to put out to pasture and put down ...let the wolves have their dinner. I WANT to sit on my a__ and drive a truck, not drive a desk...I KNOW this will NOT be easy...it IS a job, but it's something that I want to do.

 

Being an actor in pornographic films isn't a job, it's a lifestyle...some people just can't perform on camera!

 

Yes there is...the porn industry!

 

It is rather stunning that he didn't think of that, isn't it?
