Have you ever met a trucker with over 50 years plus?

Trying man.. I have expensive habits but have put those on hold to bank cash.. I won't lie, there is no feeling in the world like owing $1000 per month for rent while clearing $1100 per week driving a Con-way Freight truck.. Just trying to bank all I can right now man..

 

And the time will eventually come when yous will be faced with a similar decision that I am,...............

If I had to answer right now, I'd say I'll take the line haul and the money,....

But that answer could change before morning,.....lol..

Good thing I have some time to think about it,..

 

Good luck on the decision man.. Whatever it is .63 or .66 by 2013 is some serious cash though.. At .63 that's about 353 per night - add hourly and that looks like 450 per night without blinking to me..That looks like around 110K easy figuring in vacation and bad weeks.. I'm at .55 right now and think that's pretty good.. Not sayin, I'm just sayin..lol..

 

Yes, my dad.

 

And seeing it in type doesn't make it any easier,....lol...

I wont see that many hours on the dock though,....It's almost right tight to 11 driving,......It's a tight turn,....But I have run it a couple of times in the past so I know I can get it one,....

I have this feeling I'm going to get a lot of use out of the satellite radio in the near future,......lol....

 

If nothing else, ballistic mike would be proud of you..lol.. His worst night last week was $405 and he was genuinely pissed that he didn't do better that night.. The dark side is a hard thing to explain till you do it for a while.. Besides, the 11 is the 11 - you can always put a few extra hours on the clock without affecting drive time.. OK, I'm being a bad influence at this point.. Keep us posted on the decision and if you come over to this side we'll help you in any way possible..

 

Yeah I know the 11 is the 11,...But the 14 is also the 14,...And I'm not real fond of the 16,.....................LMAO!!!,,,..............

Good Gawd I gota get to bed,.........0700 approaches quickly,...

 

I hear ya.. 1900 will approach quickly for me.. The 16 does equal huge peso's though..lol..

Talk to your family and keep us all posted on the big decision man..

 

Jakebrake12 how does a rookie out of school in a few weeks get into that type of a job? Thanks. treydavid

 

I started driving off highwat logging trucks at 16. You went down to the DMV paid $5.00 (about 6 hours pay) and had a licence, no test or anything.
