I look at regular truck drivers and I almost laugh at them. It's amazing how much hell a car hauler goes through, it's almost not worth the big bucks I make, (well not with this co.) We'll see.
Lolz....lolz....oh Aviator...lolz....I told you....sorry dude I am laughing right now....Like I said, your going to be all wrong for a long time....but stick with it, learn the ropes and get comfortable, then you'll see it gets easier. Most guys will wash out in a few months, mostly because of frustration or they can't do the work. But if you hang in there the money is near tops for the trucking industry.
Your going to be 3 years before I might call you a carhauler...
Good luck bud,
Also that 18% is a reason to make some calls and knock on some doors...thats too low, even for a rookie.
