Yeah I’m not. because I know how I reacted. Your making assumptions based on a thread where the accident wasn’t the point of the question, if you would like I can make a thread where I give details about the accident and my response and thought processes and then we can go discuss it over there. So just want to clarify that I’m not offended and don’t mean to offend, but that’s why I just glossed over the accident.
Not making enough at CREngland

Like all the above folks have said, the first year is tough. You are learning as you go, everything is new, pay is low, its a grind. Liek you said "I left the family for $100 a week more"...yeah its hard to justify when looked at that. Its the long game to try and keep focused on.
My first year was a disaster, but learned alot and took my lumps with DOT several times. I smartened up, got serious and found what areas I love doing in trucking. With a bit of expereince I sarted making a good wage, and 12 years later am making very good money doing linehaul and home daily. Most runs for me are 12 hours and I wiork the same 5 days each week with the same start time.
The guys above know what they are talking about, stay focused on the long game and it will be more than worth it.Chinatown, newtothisrgv and bryan21384 Thank this. -
newtothisrgv and Albertaflatbed Thank this.
