I uncovered over $40,000 worth of fraud being committed in my department 6 months after I started. I put a stop to it, was not allowed to fire the perpetrators and now I'm being sabotaged, retaliated against by said perpetrators, friends of perpetrators, and upper management. I've been trying to find another job but with the Covid issue most healthcare organizations have a hire freeze or are laying people off.What do you dislike so much about your current gig? Somebody might be able to describe other options if they know your likes and dislikes.
How was your diet with that? I've heard that truck drivers are not healthy on average because of all the sitting and eating junk at truck stops. You have to move around to get blood circulation etc.I held a steering wheel for 22 years with close to 2m miles. No regrets.

I've been driving 14 years now and don't see me quitting anytime soon. There are ups and downs but thats every job. If you do pursue to get a cdl get your hazmat and tanker cause hazardous loads pay way more. Honestly you will have to start with a small company as their more willing to take the risk with new drivers if you're trying to stay local. Larger trucking companies will take anyone but you're going to be gone a month at a time no matter what they say or promote home weekly but you won't be. I would say figure out your finances and what you need to make cause entry-level driver's make around 30-50 grand. Once you have experience and know the game you can make good money but it isn't going to be your first gig. I work for a hazardous tanker company and I'll stay out maybe one day two at the most a week but I'm also single so I don't mind it. Last year I cleared around 109k so like said you can make money just gotta get experience and the right company. Best of luck on your decision.
what?
the larger companies like swift hire anybody... JB Hunt.. CR England.. all those ****ers
I have quite a few years in trucking .. and the smaller companies are usually more selective simply due to insurance reasons.
the last company I worked at the insurance company actually REQUIRED 2 years of experience, and we were a 5 state company
Also
if you get your hazmat and tankerOp .. you’re not limited to freight.. you can get into oil hauling.. I have guys that gross 25k a month. Home every night. BUT..
its 6 on 1 off.. 12-14 hour days.. and on the 7th day you’re usually working on the truck anyway
I was going to say the same thing, that's backwards. the larger companies don't care who gets behind the wheel as long as they're legally allowed to drive. smaller companies are picky in hiring.
Maybe where y'all are from but i got my start with a small company with 8 trucks my little brother got his start with a small company of 5 trucks and my cousin just hired for a small company of 5 trucks hauling grass so like I said I'm just stating from my experience.
I have been driving for 10 years now, I have a really good job now, but man I put in my time, First gig out of school was delivering beer that was back breaking, takes time to get a good job, good company and good equipment, I have 18 speed Peterbilt she's a beast LOL love this part, I'm home everyday, as a truck driver expect long hours 10-14 everyday, but we don't work weekends, start times are early, If you don't land a good gig this industry can suck. BTW owning your own truck can be worse too, I did this as well, good luck take a ride with someone for a couple of days get a better idea of day to day.
These are pretty true. I never did the junk food thought. My last few years I worked for a large corporate company and unloaded my own truck with paper products. I was huge and cut like a rock. Started like 2 am, but was done as anywhere from 10-2pm. Loved that job. I got more ass going into hospitals and crap To deliver than you could believe.if you're married, don't do it. Most of the time ends in divorce. Driver never home ...wife starts poking around.
it's terrible on the body. no sleep. always eating junk food. sitting on your ass all day every day. not worth the money.
maybe start your own business ??
hotshot would be wayyyyy better. haul ass in a large van, you can run small loads, run short runs like 8 hours and then sleep. **** the 53s man....driving way slower, have to pay more attention, dealing with licensing, dealing the hwy patrol ....ya **** that.You could also get into hotshotting.
Buy a decent used diesel dually and a decent flatbed gooseneck trailer. Or, you could also do car delivery if you buy a gooseneck car hauler (enclosed is preferred)
