The money is better obviously as you have two log books to run, then split the money etc. but really not "more" money to make it worth it. IMO.
Right, kinda what I was thinking....gotta be honest too, the thought of driving a huge truck is seriously intimidating to me too. Always been curious about it though...

It isn't bad. As long as you respect it at all times. If my dumbass can do it you are golden.

Once you're comfortable behind the wheel it's no different than driving your car. Seriously. The thing that changes is that you become hyper aware of all the dumb****s driving around you.

Not bad so far. Like anything there is a adjustment period I'm still getting used to. Don't think it's something I could do for the next 10 yrs
Etc, but I'm just trying to get some experience so I can run local stuff and be home more. Sort of paying my dues at this point.

It's like 40k a year to start OTR from my understanding. I almost did it. Was going to team with my wife. For me, I'm glad I tripped into what I did because I've heard some horror stories.

I am not sleeping in a truck when it's sitting still and damn sure not with someone I barely know driving.

Yeah, training sucks when you gotta sleep in a tractor with someone you hardly know. That didn't last very long, though. My training with Trans Am lasted only 9 days. I was with the Werner trainer for 9 days, as well before I had to ditch that cockbag. That was right before Trans Am.

I'm done with commercial driving for the foreseeable future.

That would bother me quite a bit. I can sleep anywhere but not in a moving vehicle.

How do I become a truck driver like on the reality show 'Shipping Wars' ?


Seems like it might be a fun thing to do with the wife

Step 1: get CDL.

Step 2: buy a truck.

Step 3: create profile on U-ship.com

Step 4: kill yourself.

Another Channel 19 joke -

What do the orange construction barrels and Schneider trucks have in common?

They likely both have two dirtbags in them.
