ALL jobs have good and bad sides, it's all what you make of it
That's freaking great, here's a cookie. Here can you repeat that to my 7 month old and my 7 year old daughter who is handicapped I don't think they heard you over my wifes tears she cries every night worring about here unemployment running out or my job moving to ohio, or how were going to aford groceries next week, tell that to the other guys one here with kids and no job.
I kno you can make money in trucking.
But so can you in other other fields.
Im saying this, guys come one her asking questions with there minds already made up and there gonna learn the hard way. Im not a painter but I used to work in a body shop in pa. Where they get 15 to 20 an hour. But your in jersey so it should me more. If your bored go get a hobby, takea vacation. Hell get your cdl if you have time, just don't jump into it fully right now. Lotta places like that your cdl even tho you might now use it. They may even give you raises. You never kno they may need you to pick up class A trucks or drive rollbacks for them

I know a lot of guys who are making it in trucking and a few who arent, things suck everywhere, it's possible to make it or fail in any job.. I would rather be home every night, but believe it or not, I can make more money trucking than anywhere else right now, and I have a degree in air conditioning and appliance repair. only problem..

"construction is down right now and no one is having anything repaired"
if I only had a dollar for everytime I heard that

thanks for the cookie, it was delicious
