Don't know if I'm considered a trucker...

Benefits can be great with the right company. Don't know about Class-B companies, but with Class-A companies there's some companies with a good benefits package and retirement plan.

 

Put me in the "Not a Trucker" column.
Less than 300 lbs, don't own any sort of 'sweat' clothing, don't smoke, never tie up the fuel pumps or the space after pulling forward, I have a normal sized unchained wallet, no cowboy hat but I do wear boots, work boots with a composite toe, and I seldom sit at truckstop to share horror stories.

But not only that, I don't have a cb, I don't listen to country music, I don't think the 'man' is out to get me, I use a gps, and I like the company I am working for and it is a mega!

 

you and I have alot in common!

 

i don't wear sweat pants, but i do wear slip ons.

i wear boots, and my wallet is chained. not becuase i'm not a trucker. but because i'm a biker.

i don't weigh 300 pounds.

 

I don't fit any of those criteria, but I do own sweat pants just not on the job. I have to wear a uniform for work along with a pistol for work right now.

Thanks for all the helpful input! I guess I will call around some companies and see what they say.

 

If you poop in the truck does that count?

 

going to check but i think 26k needs a class A.

A driver needs a CDL if the vehicle meets one of the following definitions of a CMV: Class A truck. Any combination of vehicles with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of 26,001 or more pounds (11,793 kg) provided the GVWR of the vehicle(s) being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds (4536 kg).xsa

not answer i was looking for but will look again.

 

Umm B = anything over 26 grand. Its the word "combination" that makes the diferance, no single vehice needs a class A. No matter what it weighs. (Someone is gonna find some obscure law to prove me wrong) its only when your pulling a trailer that you "might" need a class A. And that depends on weights

 

You will give yourself a headache if you try to prove me wrong on this one

 

According too the criteria listed here. I'm "almost" a trucker lol.

Cons: Don't own a cowboy hat or boots. But considering it.
I'm still under 300lbs, but working on it.
I always pull away after fueling for the next guy, gona have too work on that.
No ashtray in my truck. Do old McDonalds cups count?
I do pee in bottles, but I take them to the trash can... Again, going to have to work on that.

Pros: I bring sweat pants and shirts with me. Wear them occasionally.
I can BS with the best of em.
Just bought a wallet with a chain! tried of losing it climbing in and out of the rig.

Allthebest.
