This is my plan

I've never driven a bus... Nor have I looked into that avenue. But personally I believe that in able to drive a bus you will need some OTR experience. So you may have to haul groceries for a year before you think about hauling people!

 

If it were me,...I would try to stick it out as long as I could making good money at a easy job and try to avoid the trucking industry like it was the plague,...........

But that is just my opinion,................

 

Better you than me! I don't want to haul nothin' that's breathin'! Cows, People,Lab rats or whatever.

I like my freight inanimate!

 

Perhaps I misunderstood him.... But what I read was telling me that he plans to retire in 7 years from his good paying job then go trucking....

 

I know,.....But like I said,....If it were me I would stick with what I had until they made me retire,........

Just about everything in this industry sucks,...And it will get much worse in the coming years,......Why would anybody want to do this????

 

Well I still want to. I still find the job interesting, adventurous, exciting. Of course, I do have some bad days that I chant "To Hell With Trucking"... But those days are rare....

When those little kids are running around at a young age saying they are going to be a police officer, fireman, astronaut... I always said that I was going to be a truck driver.

 

There are lots of us out here that "want to do this". There are lots who don't want to...Why those guys are out here is beyond my comprehension!
I would never do something this demanding if it wasn't something that I love doing!

The ones that get me are the ones that are always whining about how bad it is but never even try to do whatever it is that they would like to do.

In all of the years that I've been out here I've worked hard but have enjoyed myself pretty much every day...Some days I enjoy more than others but I enjoy them all.

 

Me too,.......If I could go back in time I would kick myself for that,.....
