Freight shortage?

Simple solution.. Don't read my posts then

 

Might want to look up fractional reserve banking...

 

I have an A.A. in Finance and a B.B.A. in Management. My first real job after graduating was working for the government. I then went into the casino business and managed poker rooms. I had over 100 people under me. And then I started driving trucks and eventually got my authority. Because I like it, and wish I would have done it 25 years ago. If I had, today I'd be retired and living in a small coastal town, drinking daiquiris and fishing. If one has the right qualities and intangibles, one can succeed in ANYTHING. There's nothing wrong with being a trucker. Any trucker could have picked up another skill besides trucking if they wanted to. It ticks me off that society, and even truckers, view this profession as a bottom-of-the-barrel occupation.

College is OVER-RATED in today's world. If I could do it all over again, I would have never gone to college (unless I had a scholarship, which I DID at first, but that's another story). All it did was put me $60,000 in debt, because I spent my years there drinking and womanizing.

As for living in a big metro, that's another regret I have. I was born in Los Angeles, lived most of my life in Miami, with 2 years in Tampa and 6 months in Boston. And every time I drive through a small town, I wonder what it would have been like to live in a not-so-big town. Big cities are over-rated, just like college. If you have spent your life doing something you hate, then that's on YOU for not making a change.

But you shouldn't put down trucking, or small towns, just because it doesn't suit YOU. Other people have their own metrics, goals and agendas. What's good for you might not be good for them, and vice-versa.
