I was a OTR trucker from 2006 to 2012, averaged about 700 a week maxing out my hours for the most part. Has the pay gone up? Minimum wage now in alot of states including my own is now $10 an hour and I feel I was barely making that then when all the hours I was driving waiting were figured in. Would it be worth it to go get my medical clearance to get a valid CDL again?

Beer in the sleeper
I had a friend that was a OTR driver for 15 years, he drank beer in his truck when he was laid over for more then a day at a time for years. Someone backed into his rig while parked at a truckstop while he was offduty. He was passed out at the time and didnt even know it, well another driver parked next door called 911 to report this other driver. Well the local police came and arrested other driver and arrested the "passed out" driver that was actually the victim because he was passed out in his truck doing nothing but sleeping it off. He got a dui cause the truck had the keys in ignition and it was running with the a/c on. He is still looking for a new career (unemployed) 3 years later!
