Anyone here a Semi Truck Driver?

**Bluehorseshoe** · 10-28-21, 02:28 PM

They're making crazy money now. Last year the median salary was around $45,000. It's now over $70,000.

Unless you own your own truck and trailer you won't make good money. I mean if you are happy going across the country for $60k a year up to you. Its not an easy gig.

When you are in Laramie Wyoming in January in the middle of a blizzard shitting your pants as your trailer swings side to side you will want to get home.

Otters where you live?

I quit driving in 2000 and was making $65,000 and I was just driving regional, if coast to coast I could have made at least $10000 more back then. As bad as they needed CDL-A drivers from then until last year, if you stayed at a job for $45000 either you had no experience or a bad driving record that's very low end!!

**jjgold** · 10-28-21, 03:48 PM

Otter what you do is get a route like a Costco or Walmart route so you’re going to the same places it’s a little better and not as far distances

Laker a pro But that’s what I would do right now

Ok the Wyoming example got me. Live near Iowa casinos

**pavyracer** · 10-28-21, 04:19 PM

That's one job I will never take.

**edawg** · 10-28-21, 04:33 PM

I drive truck break arms and arm wrestle it's what I love to do it is what I do best!

**jjgold** · 10-28-21, 04:35 PM

Otter come to Allentown

**MinnesotaFats** · 10-28-21, 04:36 PM

I hear there is nowhere to pull over for rest....country lacks rest areas.

I'm sure. I was watching a news report where some Swift truckers were even making over 6 figures right now.

Only States I drive in

Michigan
Ohio
Indiana
Illinois
Arkansas
Missouri
Kansas
Iowa
Nebraska
Texas

Occasionally I will go to

Louisiana
Mississippi
Georgia
Florida
Tennessee

Eastern seaboard no chance

West too far now and pointless. All the money freight is in the Midwest.

Parking can be a problem but not where I go.

**JIBBBY** · 10-28-21, 05:36 PM

It's the job to have these days. Pays well and very much in need now.

Go to school and get that trucker license!! Away from people on the road and can get into your own thoughts, won't get Covid either.

**jjgold** · 10-28-21, 05:45 PM

License easy to get also

Otter might love it but take one route major company and do same thing daily

Then you know exactly how to park truck on the docks and exact roads

Any big chain..so you get hired trucking company and ask for one route same store

**gauchojake** · 10-28-21, 05:50 PM

**JIBBBY** · 10-28-21, 05:51 PM

Get to the see the Country when always on the highways. New places to always see when trucking!!!

Rest stops are always full of hookers also if you are into that kind of kinky stuff. Can get your freak on in the back of your cabin sleeping area of your rig.

**MUHerd37** · 10-28-21, 05:53 PM

Have my CDL but really don't want to drive a truck. My current job will end in 3-4 years so I may have to then.

**MinnesotaFats** · 10-28-21, 05:56 PM

Honestly

Just become a pro gambler and put an ad out 2 weeks a year on DoubleList offering to go down on fat chicks.

Laker is not kidding. Back in high school me and a couple of my buddies drove to Denver from Salt Lake to see Hate Eternal, Krisiun and I can’t remember who else. Was a badass show. Anyway it was like December and holy shit, it was scary af. On the way back we hit a really bad snow storm there was at least a foot of snow in the ground all the semis were flying past us. Still not sure how that little Ford Ranger made it but it was HAIRY. Once the storm was over and we were near Evanston we saw at least 5 big rigs that had blown over on the side of the road.

Watch the show " ICE ROAD TRUCKERS". Now that's a hairy job to have in Alaska. They do get paid well though but really risk their lives. They drive in snow storms and on ice roads..

Truckers now in the big cities are needed. Pay is going up for truckers.

I’ve watched a few. Those guys and that one chick have absolute MASSIVE balls. I couldn’t do it. I drove an overloaded Ford Transit van to Denver in February a times and I was doing Hail Marys the whole trip.
