Career Move, Is Anybody On The Board A Truck Driver?

I AM INTERESTED IN STUDYING FOR A CDL ( COMMERCIAL DRIVERS LICENSE), I WANT TO MAKE SOME GOOD MONEY. DOES ANYBODY DRIVE THE BIG RIGGS OR KNOW OF ANY INFO ON IT? GIVE ME SOME ADVICE.
 
I know several people with CDL's who drive both the Big rig's and straight (dump) trucks. I would not say any of them make "BIG MONEY". $50-75k per year.

But hey if you wanna sit on your ass and screw lot lizards at $50 a pop it's a great gig!
 
I would compare Long Haul driving marketing to the BS they sometimes use for the Navy...

Be a truck driver, Travel for free and See the Country side.

It ends up you go days without showering, eating nasty greasy food and getting a severe case of Drivers Ass....
 
i come from a family where every male has driven(on my dad's side) and they get fat,always away from family,bad business for it right now,fuel is a shit load,the rules are getting stricker due to sept 11,alot of work but lots of money

i say it isn't worth it but if you need it to live then go for it and enjoy the country
 
I have my cdl and drive for one of the big 3. First of all I shower each and everyday and the fuel cost doesn't concern me because I have a fuel card from the company. I bring my own food out on the road and only hit a buffett at one of the truck stops once a week to save my hard earned money. My cousin has his own rig and makes about $1 per mile and he grossed $168,000 last year. After expenses he still took home clean $96,000. If you have any type of self control you will watch what you eat and excercise 2-3 vtimes per week. Most of the companies have operating centers throughout the country and canada and have a gym in the operating centers. You could also find a local gig that pays well and be home everynight, or a dedicated account that does the same. Truck drivers keep this country moving and catch a bad rap most of the time. Many companies will train you for free as long as you stay with them for a year with no strings attatched. CDL schools can cost from $600 to $3500 and PLEASE do not get caught buying a cdl license because many people are getting caught and its a felony! Wouldn't you want to know that you can safely drive the rig and not hurt someones family or yourself??? schneider, swift, jb hunt are a few of the big ones so check out their websites and see what they have to offer. GOOD LUCK and I will look for the websites for them and drop you a note. RIZZO

My friend was telling me that if a truck driver has a lizard sticker on his cab, it means he's up for a ho at truck stops. True, or just a rumor. Rizzo, maybe you can answer this.
 
Riz, No one is implying that drivers are not a crutial part of our economy. Just to give the thread poster a heads up to the sometimes non typical life of a Long Haul driver.

usually drivers have a lizard sticker like a no smoking sign to keep them away,they knock on all trucks without the stickers

I read somewhere that to be a legitimate trucker you have to know every lyric to the song "Convoy".

Uh, Breaker One-Nine, this here's the Rubber Duck
You got a copy on me Pig-Pen? C'mon

Uh, yeah 10-4 Pig Pen, fer sure, fer sure
By golly it's clean clear to Flag-Town, C'mon
 
I used to be a truck driver.
Yeah, I had a black F-150 4x4 with a 3 inch body lift and really large tires, it was badass, we could go anywhere we wanted. I used it to go down the coast line when we went on surfing trips. It was badass. But I had to sell it cuz it got only 7 miles to the gallon, and that was not cool.
