Date: January 14th, 2022 2:13 PM Author: odious sticky french chef toaster i basically don't fit in any corporate setting. it's been 20 years. the data is in.
i'm actually good at academia, but the pay sucks.
why shouldn't i say fuck it, get a CDL, buy a rig, get an agent, and just do over the road trucking? my wife is fine with it. |

Date: January 14th, 2022 3:11 PM Author: gaped juggernaut I've been thinking about doing exactly this for a couple years now. Not that I can leave biglaw anytime soon, but once the kids are out of the house in 5 years. I do think you have to drive for someone for a couple years before you can get your own authority to be an owner-operator. Do you listen to Road Dog Trucking on SiriusXM? You can learn a lot about the business from that channel. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5007339&forum_id=2...id#43784104) |

Date: January 14th, 2022 3:55 PM Author: Tan tank public bath You’ll need real driving experience before you get hired to someplace good.

Date: January 14th, 2022 9:20 PM Author: odious sticky french chef toaster it's really the main occupation of the men on the mainland. we have quite literally over a dozen drivers in the family. most are owner operators and they all did well.
my dad made a ton more money as an owner operator compared to being a company driver. |

Date: January 15th, 2022 2:35 AM Author: lascivious abode circlehead I served with a guy who got his CDL in the service and eventually bought his own rig. He's done very well since then and has 6 guys working for him doing long-haul trucking. He still spends about 6+ months a year away from home, but mostly because he is addicted to the trucker lifestyle. Definitely not good on the home life as he's been divorced 2x.
