Is Truck Driving Right For Me... or You?

[@FredyLagos]

I drive for Walmart man, best job I ever had

[@-__-9810]

I got into truck driving because I was literally going to be homeless the next month if I didn’t have a job or place to live. I stayed because I like being alone and have very little bills. I have a paid off car don’t pay rent so I just keep stacking cash. About to buy my first truck after 2 years out here

Nice. I like to hear success stories!

I’m in the same position as you…..I’m single no kids no bills except for my cellphone and will live in my Truck when I get on my own….give me some advice and motivation to get into Trucking because I’m looking hard at it and I like to be alone too…..what’s holding me back is being scared driving that big Rig but I’m guessing once I get trained it will be easier than I think 👍

@cwc8979 shop around. Don't go with the first company that gives you an offer.

[@troycemcgill9610]

I get what you saying as far as getting into the company and finding if it’s a fit.But also keep in mind the more you jump from company to company it looks bad to future employers

It was hard to get 1100 miles with a team driving

[@biodieseljatropha9090]

I was looking over my old papers from 1999 -2001 I was o/o with Old Dominion I averaged after fuel around 1700 fuel was .99 to 1.10 I was paid 95cents per mile

Every driver I've met said do something else. Stepmom and Stepdad were truckers.
