I have no doubt it will be better when you shed your trainer. Hang in there for awhile and give it a chance to shake out! -
Me either. Way too boring.
If you want some good reading, check up on drivers leaving OTR to take local positions. It is amazing the percentage that go back to OTR. Some for pay but most so they aren't too tired to do something when they're home. -
Once I got out on my own, I totally fell in love with my new career.
Just work through it, man. Things will get easier once you become "your own boss" as it were. -
You'd be much better off to stick it out. You've got to figure you're only going up from where you're at. Pay for dock workers depended on the union. If the shop is non-union then they will pay what they can get away with. And most times it's peanuts. Just about all dock workers will say they are doing that job so they can drive OTR. You're already there and almost done with your training. If you don't like being away from home then I would suggest that you just stick it out for a year or two so you can gain the experience and get a local driving job. Either way, you never want to go backwards and you don't want to quit until you have another job.

Do you need to hold a cdl to be a yard dog? Or just a regular license?
