First let me start off by saying this. I have been driving for over 20 years and as each year goes by our wages stay the same or less. Driving a truck is one of this country's most dangerous jobs. With that said it is also one of the lowest paying jobs! Sure looking at the salary sounds good, but after considering all the time put into it you will see it pays less than minimum wage. It's almost as bad as being homeless. In fact it's very hard on family's your seldom home. If you find yourself at home a lot you will be lucky to make 600.00 a week. This is a great job if you are a loner and like living in small places. With all the hazards of this job from deal with people everyday that should not be allowed to be on the road to shipper and receiver that could careless and unsafe. To a government that puts all the blame on the truck driver I advise RUN Forest RUN!!!
