Thread warning / bad time to be an OTR

It seems to have slowed down...but, "you can't strike out if you don't swing the bat"....just thoroughly INVESTIGATE a company before signing the dotted line.

 

If driving a Truck is something you really want to do then I would say go to a good school and get your driving career started. Even though freight is slow you would make more than what your 15 hours is paying you. Of course you won't be home much to make that money.

 

Come to CA and put an "O" on your last name, don't speak, and just nod "yes" or "no"...you might get a job.

 

Be prepared to make around 300.00 - 500.00 gross a week.Then minus your (road expence) 100.00....BIG MONEY

You are better off working as a burger flipper and home every night, and playing on the computer in the ''truckers forum''...lmao

And if you chose,you can even have a BONG next to your keyboard and you will not be breaking( D.O.T. RULES)..

TRUCKING IN THE BEGINNING,THESE DAYS, HAS BECOME A SESS POOL FOR PEOPLE IN PURE ''DESPERATION''....IMO

 

That is the truest thing I have seen in awhile!

 

This is very true. Don't get into the industry because you just want a paycheck. There is so much BS that you will have to put up with. You have to love trucking to stay in it.

 

I agree with above gotta love this to do it . It is all not window down chill driving ...

 

Not trying to be harsh .. Just seems everyone wants to join us when the countrys down
But the same folks bash us when times are good

Gotta love it in your heart or u won't be happy

 

Yeah, Trucking is a way of life. In my short 2 years, I cannot believe the scum Ive met. Along with the incredible stupidity. I wonder how so many of these people drive these things. Practically every truck stop I go to is littered with trash when there are trash bins all around. The smell of piss permeates the air, when their are bathrooms inside. But joe fat as# super trucker is to lazy to walk his fat smelly #### into the restroom or even take a shower. I love standing in line at a counter and some anxious 5'2 barrel with arms and legs and a six pack of mountain dew is having a panic attack because he's in s hurry. Gotta keep the wheels turnin or he aint earnin. Its obvious why the industry is the way it is. There are simply to many morons working in it.
