You live in Kalifornia....isn't that right there enough to stop you from wanting to be a truck driver???

hey truckers have the best office view in the world. things will get better as time goes on. your first job won't be your last job eathier. give it 6 months to a year gain some experiance and move on. just don't become a job hopper as you'll really be screwed then. so what part of commieforina are you in??

I'll take a shot

There are very few positives. It depends greatly as to how you look upon things and how you react to different situations. There is no tried and true way of saying whether or not you will make it in trucking.

Except jump in it with both feet and keep swimming. You will either start swimming or you will drown.

Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

I agree entirely. Whenever you see some of the local drivers, ask them about the companies they work for and get a feel for what's out there. Not every driver hates his/her job. I certainly don't hate mine.
Oh, and one other thing... don't do a lease.

...if you want to be a driver, you have to be nuts, and anti-social. ...so what do I care... I'm nuts.

having a dual personality helps, when doing your books.
