Ha, gotcha with that title anyway, huh!? Anyway thanks everybody for the time to reply in my other threads as well as this thread!
But seriously, as one of the FNG's on this forum, it amazes me how may posters really seem to hate their company, the industry, everything.
To read the forums, every company is out to screw the driver, nobody makes any money at all, the whole industry is just terrible.
Not trying to be offensive at all, but man, life is way too short! If it is really that bad, why on earth keep doing it? I kind of "get it" if someone is Joe or Jane VP of ACME, INC making 200K per year in a job they hate, because at least one can justify it by the money.
But in a lot of these posts, according to what people write, they make about what the average Framing Carpenter or Home Depot employee makes and hate everything about trucking these days. That is off topic, though, I do not want to start some philosophical discussion, anyway.
Are any of you drivers HAPPY being truckers? What have you got to say about the industry?
If some newbie asked your advice on how to start and succeed in a trucking career, what would you tell them to follow? And to avoid?
Thanks again
