    I would kindly disagree with the word "career". It's a job, just a job. There is no "growth" up the "ladder", if not considering "upgrades" within the "office", or upgrading "office" itself)

    Yeah, but who wants to upgrade to the office which requires a big pay cut.

    Elaborate please? Why is pay cut on upgrade? Buying newer equipment saves on repairs and fuel usually.

    Moving from driving to the office means a big pay cut. Drivers are making more money than the pencil pushers in the dispatch office.

    I’m making more money on the gig economy then I made as a city LTL truck driver. Make my own schedule, no camera in my face. But no benefits, and there are other drawbacks. But I’ll not go back to truck driving as a company hand. An owner operator maybe I’d consider at some point.
