They always sell it to you, you are going to make big money 1,400 & 2000 weekly easy just driving and all that. What they don't tell you is that you are going to loose friends & family You even loose yourself and that time doesn't come back. You don't do exercise after 14hrs of work eating junk food 24/7 avg30 days away from home 4 days off is not worth it.
@miguelrobb5719 3 ай бұрын
No exercise and eating junk is a big one. Folks that’s outside of trucking would say some slick stuff about my weight, but I would be like “that’s what 6 years of OTR trucking will do to you. I been out of it for nearly a year now and the weight steady came off. The only thing I wish I would have done was to get out of the industry back in 2022 when I had the perfect chance. I overstayed my welcome

Truck drivers body in constant vibration that’s what stresses the body not the junk food alone. The body needs good rest at home not in the truck. Drivers need to listen their body and mind and stop chasing miles now and then

If you’re not happy with how trucking went for you, then you’ll never be happy again when you do decide to come back trucking. Is not for everyone, especially if you’re an extroverted person (which sounds like you are based on what you said) . Trucking is a lifestyle. This job doesn’t affect people who are introverted for the most part, such as myself, reason why I love trucking tbh.

A piece of meat in a seat. That hits. I’m 5 years into this and even though I’m home daily, my days are 12-18 hours long. Yes. I work over my HOS a lot of the time. And then I’m expected to come back within 10 hours. I’m making money, but I have no life. No gf. No friends I can call and see. I just see my family on my 34 hour reset but that’s it. I’m hoping to have some money saved up within a few months and can take a break of find something else. Trucking isn’t a life long career anymore. It’s a bridge. It’s a job that helps you make good money quick with little to no investment. It’s best to get out of debt and save up and figure out what to do next in life. But it’s a career that doesn’t give you a life unless the truck and the road is your life.

How much are you making if you don’t mind me asking? A CDL will be better vs. that gig for sure. If I were you, use Amazon to your full advantage. Tell them you’d like to get into theirCDL program. They will pay for your CDL and training. First steps though, 1. Quit weed, 2. Study for permit, 3. Research, research, research starter companies.
