Hey y’all,
New here friend told me about this forum so I figured I’d sign up got tired of Facebook.
Anyway just got a question, I recently come off the road (wife had enough) and got a great job driving a class b straight truck. Which I’m loving it so far and make good money so I’m happy. A coworker come to me and ask me why I’d get out of a tractor to drive a straight truck like I’d just got out of the looney bin haha. Well I told him home time and money of course. He then told me how he was saving money to get his class a to be a real trucker and that he was ashamed of his job even though this job is one of the best experiences I’ve had anywhere. I told him he was crazy. And he said that class a drivers looked down on the lowly class b driver and he wanted to be a real truck driver. He is young and shows it but i told him a real trucker is a person who is courteous professional and don’t damage equipment or freight. Just to prove it to him I figured I’d post here and get your opinions on the matter just to see what comes of it.please keep responses as kind and constructive as possible as he’s keeping an eye on this post as well.
Thanks guys and good to meet y’all be safe out there.
