Once you get six months to a year of experience where should you go for the big buck$?

I second Dave Ramsey. His books make fine gifts.

 

Should I buy his books with a credit card?

 

O no you didn't.

 

Dave might be upset with me. I have a credit card. However, I pay it off every week, and never pay interest. No annual fee. And I get between 1% and 3% of my charged amounts back.

Yes, the bank is paying me to have a credit card.

I also have six months income in the bank, and no longer have a mortgage. I've gotten most of it right!

 

I have 800 dollars balance on a credit card. My life is practically over.

 

Oh, I really messed up; I have 6 months income on my credit card!

 

It is often a mistake truck drivers make believing the grass is greener on the other side. The down-time associated with job changes means lost income and the unnecessary use of savings to cover the cost of expenses while you wait for you next job. It is often wiser to stay with your current carrier and aim to negotiate better working conditions. Switching carriers is a very serious decision and should be avoided for minor reasons.

No.. they should NOT have to wait.. especially if they have the skills, desire, and drive to remain in this career long term.
My intent in my statements were not to bash new drivers, as some of them are fine operators and can perform as well as a seasoned vet.
My point was that it seems EXPECTED by all almost immediately to be at the top of the pay scale within a year of being in the industry.
Partial blame goes to the bombardment of hiring ads we're all subjected to constantly promising the World.
Maybe 1/50 Will deliver the goods.

They get brand new equipment.. Told they're pros after a month of training.. then have every recruiter in the world clawing after them for a penny here and there, like it will make a difference.

I guess I could go take an online course in finance and apply to be a CEO at Bank of America.
They really should hire me.
I DESERVE IT !!
