My last week in the truck. Due to personal reasons I am hanging it up as a over the road truck driver and starting a new journey. #IQuit #quittingTrucking #NoMoreTrucking

Been there, done that. Benefits are nice. Labor Day is approaching. Imagine being paid NOT to work. A strange concept. I miss the view from the drivers seat. Keep improving. Best wishes for you and the family.

Shawn you talked about a doctors checkup. If you don’t have the shingles vaccine get it an any followers I have it now it is very painful.I put it off and forgot Don’t put it off. I also drive in Canada presently (pastime) I totally get it it’s not easy . It seems everything about trucking is made more and more difficult including getting a cup of coffee that the general public doesn’t see . I drove highway coach for 25 years total different animal . Example put a flasher on to change lanes cars almost roll out the red carpet (complete the trip it’s handshakes,thank you driver and cash and even hugs ) I haven’t got that with a truck .yes I get it there is some bad actors out there but most are just trying to make a living . Good luck Shawn with your new life appreciate your channel

I have driven and own my own trucks now for 25 years. I could honestly say this career absolutely sucks if you can find something different while you can do it!

Get out of that truck that is no place for you you are not a trucker
@truckerstyleshawn2 жыл бұрын
The past decade may say otherwise. And it’s not like my trucks won’t be running. I still have trucks to dispatch and occasionally run a load or two if I have to. But if in your mind, I am not a trucker than it is what it is .

I know where you coming from man both from the parent side of it and the child side. My dad has drove truck since he was 18. He would switch from over the road driving to local stuff through the years so he could spend some time with his family. He went through 3 marriages as well. Even after experiencing that as a child i still chose to get my CDL and drive its in the blood man. Hope it all works out for you and your family.

Why did you not go local driving?
@truckerstyleshawn2 жыл бұрын
The rates are not good for local where I live anymore. I did local for years and ended up having to go back OTR just to make the rates, and now they are not there as well .

Best of luck with your new opportunity, but I hope you are not getting discouraged by trying to stay close to home with JB hunt power only loads. JB hunt is a massive pain when it comes to finding empty trailers and they dont have a lot of freight in or near Florida that would allow you to get home often. I live in Florida with a wife and son and have been doing much better with Schneider than I could have ever dreamed of with JB hunt. I run 2500-3000 miles a week and only spend 2 nights in the truck, I work 4 days a week. Schneider rates suck off their board, but if you have a decent broker they will negotiate with you and are a good company to deal with when things go wrong. Another plus is most of my loads are booked a week in advance, none of that bidding last minute crap that jb hunt does.

It’s not that I wasn’t making money. It’s more of a family needing more aspect. And that I have the opportunity to make what I do now without having expenses and have insurance and a 401k, and the opportunity to make what one truck grosses a year and not have to take out for expenses in a few years. I can’t pass that up.
