    Hi! I am fairly new to trucking myself, my family has been driving for 35 yrs. I have a degree in the computer field but I live in Middle Tennessee and cant get a job that pays enough to pay the bills so I thought becoming a trucker would solve my woes. Unfortunately I was wrong. My average pay check is that of a McDonald's employee. It is unbelievable to me considering my dad made a great living at trucking. I have a wife and two kids at home and another from another mother. Like I said we live in Middle Tennessee wich I dont see very often since I became a trucker. I wanted to come on here and see if the trucking world could guild me to better experiences in the industry. Not just in the job search for a Real trucking company but other information too like getting from point A to point B where to look for cool sites and when to turn my head to see the world. Thats who I am I hope no one hates on me because I drive for the worst company by vote here on this site but I had to start somewhere and everyone said they're all the same. I dont know if I believe that now.lol. I do my best to be safe and help others so......
    Thanks,
    Danny
