Has anyone done a relocation package with a trucking company?

That doesn't mean they should.

 

I have always kept to the 6 months to a year of salary in savings. Though it took time to be able to get to that point, and yes I dipped below several times but made it high priority to replace.

 

Uhh if I could come into trucking with 8k in the bank as a cook you guys can do it trucking. Stop partying so hard or get a better job.

 

Plenty of people come into trucking with it being their first real job where they make enough money to save up.

 

Excuses.

 

For some reason I knew you would say that.

 

Of course it doesn't but the with the high cost of living its hard to save consistently without dipping into your account unless you have a real good paying job.People that travels for a living might be easier to save.

 

Ok. Think what you will. I wasn't allowed to have a real job before I was eighteen. Got kicked out as soon as I was eighteen. Yanked myself up by the bootstraps, but I don't need to be told that the fact that I didn't always have a bank account flush with at least a few thousand bucks means I was managing my money poorly.

 

Several months ago a guy posted he took one of those jobs with US Express and stayed about two weeks because it wasn't as advertised. I don't remember the details, but he was very unhappy!
Makes one wonder; why don't the drivers from those areas take those jobs. They complain about OTR and wanting to go local, but won't take those jobs.
