Sometimes the Reality of Trucking overcomes what people Perceive Trucking is.

 

Somebody call the Wam-Bulance.

This guy probably looks like that tool on Grandma's Boy....JP lol

 

There are two things in this world that one cannot overcome, one is poverty, and the other is IGNORANCE. I do not think poverty is the case here.

 

I never had to do that and I think I'm doing alright.

I disagree. Ignorant is when you don't know any better; stupid is when you know better and you do it anyway. And I don't think this ''driver'' is ignorant.

 

You asked for it. :wink:

 

well it looks like I've been misread again. I was venting and have only been home a few days. What i wrote wasn't really worth the time i spent writing it. So, I pulled my posts and inserted F**K IT. I wasn't cussing you all out. "F**K IT" - is my way of saying I'm gonna suck it up and grow a pair. It is true that trucking is way different than what I thought it would be. Mind you my complaint wasn't about driving or Swift but about my mentor.

I'm man enough to admit my mistakes and admit that I am wrong in being a little (?) resistant to rolling with changes and hardships in life. I will do better. As my wife tells me, what don't kill ya makes you stronger...so...I'm taking the advice of the majority of the drivers and going back to Swift and stick it out.

I apologize again to those I offended. This is just a place for me to vent anonymously.

 

I stand guilty as charged on this one.

 

Right on! I didn't jump on the bandwagon because I suspected that is what was going on.

 

well you're wife is right-now get to work :P

 

Hey Storm,it's good to hear that you are doing pretty good,despite what you are experiencing. Do your best in all you do. Enjoy seeing the different parts of the country,and talking/meeting other drivers out there. It is a totally different lifestyle than other careers,as you have noticed. Keep your chin up,and just stick it out,and maybe after you get some driving time under your belt,you can find something locally that will be good for supporting your family,and be home more.
