    I am weighing out the pros and cons of getting my CDL and getting into trucking for a while.

    I've read a lot of comments on here about how stressful being a truck driver is so I have one question:

    What is/are the thing(s) about being a driver that stress you out?

    First thing that pops out is all the 4 wheeler idiots!!!! Second is Dispatch half the time doesn't know where you are or what they had you doing. There are alot of things that drives you nuts but IT IS SO WORTH IT. Truckin is the best thing I have ever done and I wouldn't change it for anything... Good luck.

    Weather. After all the years I have been on the road the only thing that stresses me is the winter roads. Bad enough you have to worry about your self, all the idiots out there make it even worse.

    The best ones to ask would be the 90% of newbies that leave the industry within a year but they don't hang out here anymore .
