Does anyone on this board....

As in show business, timing is everything.
Ya reckon.

BTW, now that the question you've asked is being answered, what's your take on the subject?

This site is a great place to ask and/or receive answers, and, if it has a fault it could only be that this site is so large. It's hard to read and reply to every post we'd like to, so I hope you understand that, if, your original question wasn't answered, I doubt it's because it wasn't a good question --- as this thread has proven.

 

A broke drivvvaaa!!!

 

I came into this industry hoping to make a carreer out of doing the things I love. Driving, working alone(for the most part), independance, traveling, and staying busy. Ive only been doing this for about 6 months and am greatly satisfied with my choice to drive a truck. Ive had alot of good days and just a few bad days. Every time I get frustrated and wonder why I chose this path, I just tell myself "What would I be doing if I werent driving a truck and would I be happy doing it?" That puts it all back into perspective for me. Also, as was mentioned by a previous post, I do take pride in the fact that I am contributing to the service of this country.

 

I agree---TMI to read and respond to.

My wife only allots me 2 hrs/day on the Inet....not really, but after me being on for that amount of time she starts looking sad. heh heh Esp on the weekends...fact, shoudnt be on right now...Bye

 

Well aftershock,

I do enjoy the job of driving even to the point of loving it. I have only been doing otr for a short while compared to others and compared to the driving I used to do with dumps. I am getting just about everything I expeced. IE; seeing the country, going places that I would not have other wise and some level of independence.
The reason I say above to the point of loving it and some level of independence is because I currently am a trainer and I have to deal with another person, a new one every month. Aside from that aspect I still love the experience of driving.

I recognize this job/lifestyle is not for everyone, The reason I say is because of the people who I talk to that have jumped into the industry listening to recruiters and in need of a job who find out very quickly, their is NO GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW....................HAHAHAHAHA

But this is too much digressing........................

 

Small world!
I was a driver trainer for a few years also. And, like you, enjoyed it.
Being unmarried, I was assigned mostly female NewBees, and learned to see things from a much different perspective. In fact, I bet I learned as much from my trainees as they learned from me.

I'd accept another trainer position in a heartbeat, -- on a purely professional basis, of course.
The only thing I'm lookin' to hook-up to or with is a semi-trailer.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA..............................

 

Just want to point out that lot lizzards are professionals, too. Strictly speaking.

 

Ever wonder who trained THEM?

 

No, but for some reason, I think you may have wondered?
