Driving is just like everything else out there you bust your butt for nothing there is one painful learning curve and no matter what the females b!tch and complain bacause you are never home and they have to do something that you used to handle . Thats why there is always an exwife in every truckers story or 3 . but there is money to be made but it costs a bunch to live on the road as well you have to eat if you smoke you pay for a lot of things for the truck out of your pocket like scale fees at a truck stop after loading to see if your legal and other minor things like tools and little things like light bulbs and wait unto a month to get paid back .so you will be ahead in the game just finding a local job that pays 12.00 per hour by the time you figure all the hours you put in in a week behind the wheel and just waiting to load and unload it all work it may average out to 5-6.00 per hour .so all in all your never going to get ahead ever .I drove for one local company JT knows who they are he see's there trucks sitting at the volvo dealer by his business I would drive 55-6500 miles a week and never leave IL figure all those hours and if I was lucky I brought home 650-700 a week . after all this rambling this is what I have to say you can make better money as a shift mgr at McDonalds than driving a truck
