Why do you truck then. My husband is in a factory as a machnest works about 8 hrs sometime 9. He might be losing his job plus he tired of it but not sure where to go for work now. but you guys work so long hours and not home why is it the money?

I worked long hours as a Construction worker and a Farmer as well.
This is no different...only, I'm not home much.

In my case it doesn't matter. I'm divorced, with no children. So what do I care. :P

Plainly...I don't know any better. :? :lol:

...and yes I make good money doing it.

Money? When you first start out --- hmmm, be prepared for a pay cut.

People choose trucking because of the lifestyle (after they have been in it and enjoy it). They also choose it because of the allure of the money, the romance , the fun , reasons that they think are facts.

Some people will choose trucking because they systematically and logically study the industry and determine that for the amount of training time and money it has the best chance of producing an income that could be close to what they used to make.

If you haven't found it yet you might want to check out this web site also http://www.newbiedriver.com/. They have an unscientific little quiz to help you and your husband figure out if this is for you.
