Damn Dennis...why'd ya have to go and say all the right things? Now ya made me feel bad for smartin off!
Apology accepted and please accept mine.
Well anyway I drive around 500 miles a night with a set of wiggle wagons in all types of weather and even though I may not sleep in a box or pee in a jar I know I'm a trucker! As are thousands of guys and gals who arent necessarily OTR.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
But to answer your question I'd say the commitment level is fairly high amongst guys who make it past a year. There's alot of hard working truckers out here. Actually OTR is the first job and easiest job most guys get and the washout rate is about 100%. People dont understand how hard it is to live in a truck for weeks. Its not like in the movies. thats why OTR jobs are a dime a dozen, they cant keep drivers. Local jobs are harder to get and require more experience. And to those of you who enjoy OTR, more power to ya, I'm not knocking anyone's choice.
