Is trucking worth it anymore?

Thanks Brett, 2 years since I was considering a career change to Driver. Your High Road and prep tests proved invaluable. Your cast of characters are entertaining and or informative. Home time was important but not a deal breaker. The best advice on pay was common sense. You can't start at top pay as an entry level employee. I was ? lucky enough to start out in city P&D for an overnight LTL carrier tugging a 53 box with a tandem axle tractor around the metro, backing into areas wouldn't pull a fishing boat into ... The biggest advantage to this gig is sleeping in your own bed, 60 hour work week 5 days a week means that is about all you do 5 days a week. .. I agree that it is not for everyone Driving I mean. If you have to be first to the stoplight, if you don't understand following distance , if 6 minutes to 60mph bugs you...then a person should stick to video games. .. I really enjoy bumping 15 to 20 docks a day, most customers are great, I work with some of the greatest people. In short.. I read reviews did my homework, was honest about expectations. .. it's a good job. The biggest challenge Is finding the right fit. . Thanks
