Is this job ever gonna be worth it?

Wow, thanks for all the hostility people! I try to find a place to get information bc I don't know other truckers to ask and this is what I get. The comment about my kids was not meant to say it was swifts fault only to say that I don't make enough with them to move from where I ended up bc of the lack of wages. I was NOT mistakenly rehired as one of you lovely people mentioned, I took a leave of absence to help my family move and my DM never took me off it so it showed up as a no call no show. Which they terminated me for. I was calling everyday and my DM said he was trying to find me a truck (mine was broken, I turned it in to wait for a new one and I found out months later they wouldn't assign me one bc I was no longer employed and I had to start everything over) My DM was not doing his job and they fired him, rehired me, and I have a new DM. This new guy has sent me to CA twice now and I've sat for a week in a parking lot with no facilities bc they wouldn't let me move my truck empty. I just asked if it's swift or if it jsut takes a few years to make anything with an OTR job. I didn't realize this was a forum for Drama, I thought it was where people could get information.

 

Why would I not be successful with someone else? Are they all like this?

 

Sorry if I didn't write a 5 page letter detailing every aspect of my life for you guys in order to get a question answered. I left stuff out bc it wasn't important, all I wanted to know is if the trucking industry is hard to break into and I should stick it out or if I need to look for something else bc I can't support my family on what I'm getting now.
