What's funny is you have all types of people sitting here arguing about statistics, deaths, wages, ect...
If you are a driven person, don't mind doing work, don't need a boss sitting there telling you what you "need to do".. Then trucking might be for you.. If not, well then leaver parked..
LTL guys are just blowing you a bunch of crap about how much they make.. Yeah they make a decent hourly wage, but most work on the docks before or after their shift for the extra money.. Normally putting in 12 to 14 hour days themselves..
Get specialized, make yourself "sellable",keep your record clean, and work toward your gaols.
Half of what you hear from MOST truckers mouths is BS, and the other half take with a grain of salt.. Unless they can prove it with things like "Dollar per IFTA mile", Net profit, and what their actual net worth vs debt ratio is, DONT LISTEN TO THEM...
And remember, sitting in a truck stop don't pay the bills, holding the steering wheel does..
