    Amazing to say the least.

    Most of them are not even on the forum anymore.

    My thought is because a lot of wannebees think it is a paid vacation, that they can have their joint and smoke it and be ok to drive a semi.

    Others that try to gt in to this forget you have to pay your dues. Meaning you are going to be away from home long stretches of time being by your lonesome self for most of that time driving a big rig where you are the intruder to the four wheeler.

    And no tip is not on the money. A lot of people try to get in to this field because they do not have many other options, they don't do the due diligence i.e research in to what it means to become a trucker. That is one of the big reasons for the large turnover
