[QUOTE="TaterWagon#62, post: 6410174, member: 188459"]A general observation on any new career: Some of it is going to suck. Some of it is going to be awesome. Some of it is going to be boring and some of it is going to be scary. If you do your due diligence and learn as much about the environment you are going into as you can before you begin you will be able to keep everything in perspective and not let yourself fall into the death spiral of "woe is me". There are countless threads here of drivers who hit a rough patch and then let themselves self-destruct because they couldn't pull out of the dive. You have to keep perspective. Learn about trucking, read about trucking, talk to anyone who has lived it. Be realistic and weed out the BS. Remember, each of us are the biggest obstacle to our own success. You have to conquer yourself before you can conquer anything else.[/QUOTE]
