The average "Median Age" of an American Truck Driver is 48/50 years old .
Truckers tend to run hard and their health goes 2 complete "Crap"..
There are guys like me I do it when need the "Ca$h" I get back out there 3/6 months shelf life cycle before I gotta go home get outta that Truck awhile..
Occured 2 me a lotta "Old Timers" half "retired" but still need extra $$$ now and then too .
I know with "Carriers" this entire process and orientation class every one of em says I want this be your "Last Job" and "Retirement" outta here too..
But "Real-World" doesn't work like that ..
I came up an "Idea" Class A "Certified" drivers but just wanna work awhile and when completely loose their mind out there they just need go back home 4 awhile & the "Understanding" as well .
Problem is Laws and Regulations it on average co$ts the "Carrier" tune of $3/5 Grand just "Recruiting" and getting through "Orientation Class" put ya in a truck get ya out there on a load & going..
Why don't we have just a "Pool" of "Qualified" drivers they are not in a "Career" life-time but when willing & need some extra "$$$" they just call up say Im "Available" for awhile....
I mean screw this Job-Hopping garbage why not just get into a "Good Buisness Relationship" a few places and that's just the way it is too
