The part where I disagree on is that I consider trucking a "semi-skilled" job. If you are a professional athlete, painter, or wood worker, you either got it, or you don't. With these wheel holders you can make them do it over and over again until they build enough muscle memory to maintain the bare minimum skills to pass a Class A state test. After that, you push them out into the big blue sea to see how long the stay afloat.
Come drive in Montana/Idaho/Washington/Colorado and see how "unskilled" you can be before you end up sideways in a ditch. Winter driving is the big equalizer that shows who has what skills. -
knew it would it get some more posting in this section. Honestly I don't care how another driver makes a living. Just thankful to be employed and any driver is my brother/sister in this weird backstabbing hated by the public industry.Big Don and road_runner Thank this. -

Honestly I think ltl is unskilled labor, I had it way harder otr. LTL all I do is hook a set of doubles, sometimes and go from point A to point B. I always know the roads I'll be driving on, how to get there, how to go around if needed, approx what time I'll get there. I never had it so easy as I do at Reddaway.
My first 5 years were OTR and it was stressful a lot of the time, especially if you wanted to be home. Getting lost, having to back in some really tight spots and I mean tight! Places you would look at and wonder how you could get in there with a day cab! Backing a 53 footer with a sleeper truck is not as easy as people think. While the weather gets bad up on I-80 and I've been in it lots of times, I've also driven through 2 tornadoes or next to them and was chased out of Florida by a hurricane in 1999. The wind across the I-40 is no joke either. I also had to load and unload my first year out there about 50% of the time.
