My DUI

Most companies would have fired you, but these folks are keeping you on the payroll and they even told you that you can go back on the road again with them in 3 years.

If I were you I would spend every single day being the very best warehouse employee they've ever had and every night thanking the Lord that this went as well as it did, because it couldn't have gone any better.

 

You will probably make around 25k

 

Man he has no clue

 

Nothing, absolutely nothing, is predictable about trucking. Except maybe your pretrip. We don’t control the weather, and icy roads will screw up a day quick. We don’t control traffic, and sitting still for 2 hours because someone made a road pizza out of a biker 8 miles ahead can screw up a day quick. Had a driver headed my way with a load for the farm yesterday, he lost a trailer hub, and 2 wheels about 6 hours away. When those wheels came off, blew another tire on the back axle. Totally unpredictable, and uncontrollable. We can’t make a shipper or receiver hurry, or even unload us if they don’t feel like it, which can screw up a day quick. We can’t control rates, or diesel pricing, or insurance rates either, which can screw up a year quick. Like was said previously, go ahead, get a Class A, you may someday use it, but don’t expect to reinvent the wheel. Also, lose the word, “deserve”. There is absolutely no room for entitlement in the trucking industry. It’s dog eat dog, and hope you have the biggest teeth.

 

You can predict with almost 100% certainty that it's going to take you longer to get in and out of a grocery warehouse than it ought to.

You can also predict with almost 100% certainty that freight rates will fall a lot faster than the price of fuel.

 

You can also predict when the ain’t that hard crowd is gonna fall on their face and say GD that truckin kicks like a mule……I hadda quit cuz Ima……

 

Honestly if I was still a company guy I probably would have moved into a warehouse by now, work 8-10 hours and go home with no other BS almost sounds relaxing,

 

See if you can find a hostler gig that doesnt require a CDL.

Any company that doesn't go out of their own yard shouldnt require a CDL. This will pay better than the docks.
