Why do you do this job?

Oh hell....I do it just to keep out of trouble at home!

 

I do it because its who I am.
But its getting to the point to where I dont know who I am

 

I know my hubby does it cuz he wants me NOT to work (at a real job anyways) AND he enjoys it, no other job will give him both so OTR is the way he makes a livin....and yeah it probably helps keep out of trouble at home too...LOL

 

well i guess im a little different then most. i truck because its all ive ever done. plus the freedom i have when i get behind the wheel, nobody looking over my shoulder , nobody telling me what to do, never did do well with a boss,the enjoyment of seeing the country , all of it .
there is nothing quite like it, meeting the different people , all kinds of people some good some bad some worse but all are doing what they want and like to do THATS TRUCKING dont care if your a company driver or an owner operater and independent or a lease operator it all part of trucking and all doing what we want and doing it the way we want THATS TRUCKING and thats why i like it and why i keep on doing it . luck to all.--southernpride

 

my whole life!, since i was just a wee lil kid, i new id drive a truck. most people dream of winning the lotto, ( and i am one of them dreamers! ), but in reality, i am living 1/5 of my dream...the other 1/2 is to be an o.o....
the same as said above, see the country, meet amazing people, amazingly rude people, the new view every mile....
office work...nahhhhhhh!!!!!

 

1) The money
2) The prestige
3) Clean working environment
4) Constantly dealing with people that are helpful and friendly
5) You are your own boss
6) Secure job with huge future


and then I woke up.

 

Why do I drive a tractor trailer???? 'Cause pushing it is a stone ######.

 

because I'm too old to be a gigalo, too young for retirement, and the gov't hate competition when it comes to criminal enterprises

 

I love this job for many reasons. Like you, I love to drive. Even though I run the same route, 340 miles daily, this truck provides me with different views everyday. It has provided my family and I with a nice home, a lot of toys and a good living. It gets me home every evening and lets me spend the weekends at home with my family. As a company driver, I get to be my own boss and make my own decisions. I have a unique situation and will stay here until I retire (10 more years). Like you, trapped around four walls is just not for me.

Drive safe
