First off, this is my first post, and I want to say that I truly respect what you guys do for a living. I had the opportunity to drive 1,500 and 1,100 mile trips (back and forth) with a typical fully loaded 20 ft. bed moving truck with a car trailer in the back. This is my only experience driving any truck. Along the way I gained a better appreciation of what you guys do, but I still have some dumb and not so dumb questions off the top of my head, if you don't mind.
In no specific order:
1. What's your favorite brand of truck and why?
2. What's your average MPG?
3. Diesel or regular gas? And how much?
4. How many hours do you drive in a day on average?
5. How much do most truckers make per mile/year driving a company truck?
6. How much do most truckers make per mile/year driving their own truck?
7. What's your favorite part of trucking?
8. Do you ever get bored on the road?
9. Do you guys have any hobbies that you take with you on the road? - I make music on my computer and sell it online.
10. Do you recommend buying a used truck or new?
11. Any other advice you can offer a guy wanting to get into trucking?
Thanks a lot for your time. You don't have to answer all of em I just want to get a better idea of everything without making a bunch of posts.
