What do you like about trucking?

I like the money.

 

Some level of freedom.
At the right carrier you will be judged on your performance.
You will be allowed the freedom to decide how to perform.
Basically you aren't micro managed.

What I really liked about oversize was all the different industries I got exposed to. The out of the way places I delivered to.
There are a lot of interesting places,people and things out there.
All this and you still have the privacy of your truck when you want.

 

For me it would be keeping my family tradition going. My father , uncles, and grandfather all drove. I was almost born in a truck and was riding in them when I was still in diapers. Trucking was all I knew and all I ever wanted to do growing up. I sometimes hate the business but I'll always love the job.

 

money and making friends if done right ,have to weed out the good and the bad,professionel tourist

 

The open road and not having a boss breathing down your neck all day.

 

nothing like downshifting and floating gears down city streets and the sound of the jake brakes rattling everything around.

 

There is something about driving a truck that is "just fun". I did the Community College Truck School route since it was paid for by unemployment. Then it was to a concrete mixer, end dump and now flat bed, all local. On occasion we get out of town for a couple of days, but mostly local, all good. I have worked with a number of guys that drive and have not done OTR, so it can be done.

 

Not being bothered 24/7. Just do what your there to do and go home.
