No home, no job, worth it?

if you go to that extreme just buy a motorhome, you'll have it all

 

U can live in ur trk if u want treat urself to a hotel once in awhile.. park car at ur term they should let u..

 

I like hotels and rental cars. If you don't have rent, mortgage, or car payments/insurance to pay you can afford to get them a few times a month and be money ahead.

 

A few people on here have sold everything and done this. One friend of mine lived in his pickup truck with a camper shell on it; he could have done better, but that's what he liked. Most OTR companies you can live in your truck & some have bunkhouses. You can definitely put more money in the bank and 401K by being frugal.

 

I've met drivers who have homes, and families, but stay out for 4-6 months at a time. I ask them why, and they say because that's the only way he can pay his bills. I'm guessing he had lot's of kids and bills not necessary.

So I'm sure if you wanna stay out forever, and take your off time on the road, the company will gladly let you. Good luck.

 

Not every company makes you drop the truck at a terminal. You can take time off anywhere you want. Grab a hotel room, cheap rental car and have fun.

 

Companies don't hire drivers out of Florida because they can't give them home time. Florida is a dead freight area, you can get loads going in but other than seasonal produce there isn't much coming back out. I think your cousin is full of it, they'll send you there if they have a good enough paying load or account just like any other load.

New York City is that bad. Even the upper east coast from D.C. up to Boston you have to be careful and make sure you have good directions because they have a lot of restricted roadway's that don't allow trucks, lot's of low overpasses, etc... and lot's of traffic.
