What company lets you take your girlfriend with you, driver4015? Kinda odd I see that post while I'm in Bend, OR myself, but I'd like to know of a company (flatbed) that doesn't require riders to be a spouse or kid.
Do you enjoy your career??

I believe I am built for this lifestyle. A loner by nature that loves to drive. I enjoy the solitude and listening to my tunes or favorite radio programs on Sirius Satellite Radio. The great thing is I get PAID to do this! Of course their are annoyances from time to time such as DOT checks, scales, surly customers, hazardous motorists, construction zones, accidents, and bad weather but give me an open highway and my favorite tunes and I am a happy camper.
I even dragged my wife out here after she finished schooling. Regrettably she does not share my love of the highway but is hanging in there (for now). She knows she cannot take me from the road and if she tried I would divorce her in a heartbeat. I love my wife but the road is my LIFE. I have no desire to do anything else. This is after I have worked in factories, radio, and fast food management. This is the easiest job I have had by FAR. -
Ronnie Milsap said it best
"Some people work to survive but Up here in this CAB that's when I am most alive."
"I could give my hands to another line of work but my heart would always be behind the wheel"
I love that song, it is so darn true. -
Redcoat wife and AnnieJ Thank this.

I wish I did that, Rocks. I waste far too much money on the road eating fast food and such. Talking to some people in fast food, I actually spend more per week in meals than they take home as their net pay. I've got a cooler, I just need to get one of those stoves.

I wouldn't go that far to say you'll make less. Invest in a 12V cooker and stock your truck before you leave. You'll save a ton of money and likely not have a heart attack within 5 years.
