Ltl to trash hauling!

Glad to see there's at least one person in here that understands my humor

 

I feel for you on the tired of linehaul stuff. 5 years the same interstate I tapped out a lot sooner then you. A lot of people thought I was crazy to leave an easy gig that paid well. Yup all the rules. Cams aren't bad but some of these LTL's play with it like a new toy. I gotcha here's a write up. Lol. I have a cam but I haven't set one off in almost a year.

Everyone thinks linehaul is the holy grail. It's a good living but a lot of time sacrifice. There are drivers that drive for UPS making 100k+ that are miserable as hell.

I'm a lot happier now doing foodservice then my linehaul job believe it or not. Also I find myself with more time off cause I don't press the issue to work all the time. I don't mind the pay cut. Except for this week but I was given the option. Dang Super Bowl.

When I did my dot physical first time in years I had high bp. Think a lot had to do with the LH job. So that made my decision easier to leave.

Just make sure you can take the pay cut if you decide to leave. Don't jump ship at the first opportunity. Make sure you know it's right. You got a lot at stake vs a new guy or even a 10year guy.

Good luck on what you decide to do.

 

Waste man pays people to follow drivers in unmarked and marked pickups to "observe" safety behavior....

 

The only good thing bout being trash man is you will never go hungry...buffet wagon ask driver for daily specials

 

If you can live happily without struggling at hauling trash and you think it'll be happier life there, make the move. Sounds like it wouldn't be bad.
