How Trucking Went From One of the Best Jobs in America to One of the Worst

[A HERETIC I AM]

40. LOL @ "Ifidas" !!

My list of Ifidas is way too long, I'm ashamed to say!

But this gig is good enough, frankly. I don't ever want to have to look for another job, anyway. It will be 8 years this coming January (I was a Christmas Temp hire in December of 2013 and was told I was permanent on 1/12/14. Longest time I've worked for the same company in my entire life.

Shit... Ifida;

If I had only stayed out of a city park after dark with 2 weeks to go before I was to head off to Army Basic on my way to Warrant Officer Helicopter Flight school. Stopped to take a toke with a friend and got popped. Early 80's

If I had only taken the gig with a well known, world class motorsports entity at the salary they offered, instead of being a dick and wanting a mere 5 grand a year more. What a dumbass. Suffice to say, this entity is one that people don't ever leave. The only way out is death or committing some major crime. Mid 90's.

Several others that were life changing. I realize most people have them, so I'm not special, by any means.

But I'll be fine. This gig will keep me well clothed, well housed, well fed and well transported! (Gonna put a $500 place holder deposit to get me in line so I can order a new, 2023 C-8 Vette soon)

Until they decide to replace me with an autonomous truck, anyway!
