    What does R3V know aBOut TrUCKdrIvING?

    Ever since i was a lil kid Ive spent alot of time on the Road.
    My dad did alot of business out of state so he would take me on the highway with him.

    Since then ive had a Fascination with Big rigs. The Subject has come in and out alot since High school.

    Now that im 25,Id like to start getting ready for my life. Finding a Job that will always be here. Truck driving school seems like the right choice for me.

    Anyone here a trucker or have family? Thoughts?

    Unless you own your own rig, it isn't worth it, and when you do own your own rig, you'll need to keep a credit card with $20,000 available balance at all times, you'll have a financed rig that costs as much as a single family home, and you'll spend $30-50 a night for a shower and a warm meal.

    But you can pick up underage girls and lot lizards. And moving across the country makes hiding the bodies easier, or so they say on the criminal shows that are on late at night.

      My dad has had his CDL for years now and he says it's the biggest mistake he has made. Honestly don't know if it's just him or the industry.

        Sounds kool in theory but in reality I don't think it's worth it, I mean think how annoying it is to drive a car in traffic sometimes now make that car a semi truck and do it everyday. Not to mention the stricter rules for people with a cdl. For example drinking and driving, now of course I don't condone driving drunk but if u have a cdl the legal limit becomes a quarter of what it is for everybody else so if u have one drink and are not drunk and not even driving a truck you can get a DUI then u have no job and a lot of problems. Just something to think about

              My step dad was/is a truck driver.

              As said before, it can be expensive and very repetitive. As a kid I used to do different shorter trips with him, and it was pretty cool.
              I think it really depends on the job specifically. My step dad used to fly from Vancouver to Montreal and drive, piggybacked, three new Frieghtliners back to the west coast. That was cool. For a while he used to fly back east and pick up new HUB fire trucks and drive them to thier destinations on the west coast. THAT was awesome for me to hop on board at our home and complete the trip with him, onto Vancouver Island etc.

                I'm pretty much a professional trucker now, I have been playing Euro Truck simulator 2 for the past two weeks. This game is fucking awesome.

                Euro Truck Simulator 2 - if you’ve got what it takes to be part of an elite trucking force, get behind the wheel and prove it!

                  Find a career where you're valuable, not one that is more often than not a second choice. Let's be honest here, those making big bucks and have bright futures aren't aspiring to transport toilet paper and spaghetti sauce around the continent. Not to speak ill of those who do it, but underachieving much?

                        I cant think of a much more lonely or unhealthy career.
                        You really need to bust your ass to make a dollar too.
                        eating shitty unhealthy food and sitting on your ass all day. Showering in jizz laden shower stalls. Taking stimulants to stay awake behind the wheel.
                        Initially it sounds cool as you are your own boss but I think after a couple weeks it would grow tiresome.
                        On the other hand, If you like to be alone with yourself its probably ok.
                        Personally, I hate myself and couldnt do it

                          they have daycabs...meaning no bed in the back. They ultimately occupy less space on the road. Since trucking laws are stricter in Europe (log books must be kept in tight order), truckers are not allowed to go on as little sleep as they are here in NA.

                          My brother used to do it but gave up when he and his wife wanted to have kids and start a family. The risk of so many guys dying and being injured in accidents was far too risky, esp. up here in Canada with the terrible winter conditions (ever see ice road truckers?).

                          I consdiered it when I was in HS and helping him on a few summer trips all over western Canada, but gave up on it as it's not the life for me.

                          Just like Blunt said, the unhealthy food, always busting you ass in -40C temps outside putting tarps on loads of drywall, and my bro started smoking cigaretts to stay awake. Shortly after his stint of truck driving, he got diabetes from the unhealthy lifestyle and stress
                          If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

                            Seriously.....shit would suck. Ever been in a truck stop? They make the restrooms out back of the Chevron look like an oasis.
