Message:: [QUOTE="Lennythedriver, post: 11425395, member: 295440"]My advice is this... you’re going to spend the vast majority of your time out away from home on the road. Set up your home life to be as thrifty, efficient and cheap as possible. This will allow you more flexibility. I see so many new truck drivers get their first few checks and then they go out and buy some $50,000 new vehicle with a $700 a month payment. On top of all the other bills that they don’t need. For me to mentally do this job I have to know that it’s leading to something else better. Not that I’m just running on a wheel like a rat in a cage. It needs to lead to things that better or improve my life, Because I can guarantee myself the truck driving in of itself is not going to do that. Truck driving will likely take years off your life expectancy. get in, work hard, keep your record clean, save your money or invest in things that make you more money and hopefully one day get out, or do as I did now, drive part time.[/QUOTE]
