What's the hardest part about trucking?

I would suggest one that you never seem to see in this forum. For me the hardest part over the last year is all the mistakes that I have made, that I "know" better than to make. Simple moments of stupidity that certainly stick with you. Simple mistakes, that could have disastrous consequences if you don't catch them in time. Some would not be disastrous, merely embarrassing when pointed out. I find myself making stupid mistakes all the time that I know I was either taught or shown or learned not to do. I spend a lot of time beating myself up over these and that is frustrating.

Just the other night I was hooking up to a trailer and when i got out to do a walk around I got distracted by the messed up tire and completley forgot to roll up the landing gear, dragged it a good thirty feet before I figured out just why this trailer felt so "strange". Talk about feeling like an idiot. Luckily enough I didnt rip it out from under the trailer. That would have been hard to explain to saftey.

 

in the first 3 words. "it's not sleeping"

then it's" oh and ......."

I come to get knowledge,also and to give some.

dang dude lighten up.

and the "look at me"?? as you lecture me .

 

the hardest thing for me in my 44 years of otr was leaving my family behind. if i could change anything it would be, not being home to watch our kids growing up.

 

Have you looked into expedited freight? A lot of expedite companies utilize straight trucks.
