For those who regret going into trucking...

Starting this journey on Monday at Roehl RDTC and I hope that I year from now I can say I'm enjoying it but like onthefence said earlier....I too have been unemployed for all but 60 days of this year and with no jobs (other than $8/hr) available here in central Ohio I am hoping that trucking will pay off. I too hate leaving the wife and kids here at home but after being in the Navy 16 years ago I am no stranger to leaving for longer periods of time than this will be.

 

the difference is in trucking the cubicle moves and the scenery is constantly changing....

 

None of my business, but.... is there any chance you can go back to the Navy and knock out that last four years? You'll be MUCH better for it if you decide to go trucking later on.

 

the cubicle moves and the scenery is constantly changing

Chances are your cubicle will not end up in Hunts Point or Harlem , and some of that scenery is SCARY at times.

 

Hey Jarhed....I take all input BUT I was in the Navy 16 years ago for 4 years. Now too old to go back in. But it was a good thought.

 

there may be places like that....or worse....near my cubicle....

 

Oh, I see. So Navy doesn't do "constructive age"? I was out of the Marine Corps for 16 years and managed to get back in back in 2006. Got out again last Jan though (EVERYthing changed for the worse, IMO). My bad though, I thought you had 16 years in.

Couldn't let all those young'ins have all the fun, ya know.

 

It only seems to happen online,..

In the real world you can't afford to trust anyone,..................

 

Get ready to work 100 plus hours a week in a truck,...And maybe make 30 grand a year,...And never see your family,....

 

No kiddin. I had umpteen binders, chains, and bungies "walk off" from me in the middle of the night when I was flatbedding.
