3. Truck Driving, In Many Cases, Has Become A Rotten Gig

My dad was a guy who delivered milk to the supermarkets. Back then, that was a good paying job. Since he was driver/salesperson, there were commissions involved so the extra hours had to do with how much load he was willing to take on because there was the salary plus a piece of the action.

There are still good trucking firms to work for, but the guys i know that still do that are CONSTANTLY looking for an opportunity to get a shuttle gig. Pay is a little lower, but the hours are predicable and there is no long haul work.

Most of the guys we know that have been doing it for 20 years or more, have really come to hate their job.
