Im a huge dave ramsey fan also. They arn't joking when they saying everything goes so fast. I got my cdl last year when i first turendd 20 and and worked for pepsi and a sanitation service. lets just say im ready to be free and ready to live my own life.
I am the ssame way aas most of you in here. I live with my parents and im giong to mooch off of them while im otr saving my money. I think i will do alright because the company i signed on with is local and my uncle is going to be my trainer! Im really excited about that and hoping i like it.
I have a truck that i paid cash for and my insurance is only 100 a month and my phone bill is only 60. so i have it set, can't really complain.
I-80Trucker Thanks this. -

Great to see some positive attitudes!
Mostly we see the unhappy side posted here.
Its a great career, one that has treated me well over the years.
It is what it is, a driving job, not a sitting somewhere job.
Trucks don't make money when parked.
Make the most of time off and see the sights, or shine the truck
Great way to make a living, IF your attitude is right, and it seems like many of you here have that part down.
Makes an old man happy to know there are a few out there to keep the wheels rolling!
Go get em guys!I-80Trucker, NDBADLANDS, slomocopshow and 1 other person Thank this. -

I LOVE THE ROAD!! :smt049 Don't have a home anywhere, DON'T WANT A HOME. Saving money but not to buy a home. Maybe will buy a motor-home or a RV...
I like to be moving, constantly. I get tired of a place after a few days. No family, nothing... Like to live in the truck. It's not as comfortable as a house, no real kitchen or bathroom, but I cook in here every day and I even wash myself in here (if it's necessary). I hitchhiked with truck drivers in Brasil in the 80's and it was one of the best times in my life! Have been trucking in the US for a little over 4 yrs now and this IS how I want to live my life. This is ME! It feels as if I had started last year. Time flies! I wake up every day eager to start my driving, even if I feel tired... I don't make too much money (my company is not one of the best) but I don't care right now. I don't even check my payroll till I take time off once every 2 to 3 months and go to the bank. 
I just know that I am doing well and loving this way of life!!

rsconsulting,,
Yes !! been there done that also .,, Had lots of toys been lots of places Around town and maybe the next town over some too .., .. LOL ...
I Guess i am who i am and i have some great kids out there ,they had a good child hood, never were hungry or lacking medical, got the toys they wanted for there birthdays and Christmas too .. I Raised 3 kids from 2 Wife's and my Son ,well i never Married his mother thank god ! .. I worked day and night and weekends too , almost always had Sundays off but could i sleep in or rest being lazy around the house ?? Omg what ####### i am at least i could go spend the day Running around the park with the kids or packing up the Horses for a Horse show 100 miles away ..
anyway ,, to make a long story short at the end of every relationship i was the S.O.B.
I think there must be so many People out there that feel or have been thru this them self's all the spouse can see is he or she is gone before they wake up in the morning and home after the day is over , and have no idea how hard that Man or Women Worked .
Being tied to a Company that is Geared as Production ! Production ! we have to get it done and out the door ! whatever it takes ! well i did this for over 25 yrs ,, and to say the least i am Done ! ! ! over it ,, and i am not talking about an office job ,, not that i am Knocking Office Jobs trust me i know how they can be Mentally Exhausting , this work was very very Hot ! heavy, fast , Physically Demanding , Dangerous , Forging Hot metal into parts is no joke but at the same time i found it to be an art and i thought of my self as being lucky to be part of that Dieing Culture .
Running yes i am running ,, Running Away ? No not at all just Running ! ! ! to be Free ! and on the Road meeting new people having Challenges to work out on my own and feeling good about it ..
gdyupgal, Onetruckpony and Rocks Thank this. -

and i to could careless about the pay at this point , i am only me , how much could that be lol .
