Any truck drivers here?

[Mike_Yates]

Is anyone here currently, or has been a truck driver?

I heard that this job is extremely stressful and rigorous and often involves driving cross-continent, eating at truck stops, and sleeping in your tractor trailer. Also, you have to deliver your load to X location at a certain time and date. If you're late, you'll be written up.

How does this job pay? Do trucking companies offer retirements, benefits, and insurance plans?

truck driver

I was a truck driver for most of my working years!!! I loved that type of work. It is not an easy life. There are long hours, dense traffic and bad people to deal with. But the wages were real good and i got to see parts of the country that most people never see.The last over the road company that i worked for was the greatest and very understanding when i had problems. I had a regular route every week with the san=me customers . I drove 3500 miles each week and made 25 deliveries and three pick-ups. All of these were timed stops I am now semi retired. I work 6 months ( spring and summer ) and am home every night. Driving is a hard job,,,, but a great one. If you are thinking about this as a job,,, all the best to you. If you do this keep a sharp eye for the ladies in passing cars. In 40 plus years driving i saw everything except childbirth and murder. Be careful and enjoy yourself. Remember that we only get to do this once.

Do you flash your titties to all the truckers passing by?

Why would you be a cross-country truckie, when you can go drive a HUGE truck on a minesite for about 4 times the pay?
Everything paid while on site - accomodation, food, recreation, etc.
And the hours are better.
And you get every 5th week off, with travel home paid for.
