Finally out of OTR Trucking
#41
I respectfully disagree GMAN.
My pipeline, including all ancillary logistical requirements are fulfilled by efficient, driver friendly, well paid feeder networks. Not at all unlike UPS.

There is nothing classy about you, so again...pretense, as you are disrespectful most of the time...and only pretend otherwise when it suits you. It's sad to see someone crave so much attention in such a pathetic manner.

Life's too short for OTR.
Average age of OTR drivers is like 57 years old. That's because it's unhealthy to work all those long hours and irregular 2AM warehouse deliveries. Stress from meeting tight appointments and cut-off times. Getting lost with nowhere to turn around. Eating truckslop food and lack of physical activity only adds to the problem. So many truckers with Type II diabetes. I made more working OTR than I do LTL. Problem was I worked 2X the hours in OTR and lived out of a truck. The first day of OTR hometime I did nothing but sleep all day I was so worn out from the road. Next day I'd run around town doing errands and getting stuff to stock the truck back up. And then I was back on the road...it was like a blur, was I even at home? I lost contact with friends, missed alot of graduations, birthdays, family reunions, etc. I had no life whatsoever. Now I sleep in my own bed everynight, shower in my own shower, off every weekend/holiday, and since I only work 40-45 hours per week...plenty of time to enjoy at home. I lost about 30 lbs since I came off the road thanks to a gym membership and healthy diet full of fresh fruits and veggies. Life is so much better now that I can actually live it.

If you would care to take the time to look at my positions, you will find that for the most part, I never resort to any personal insults, etc. unless I have been provoked. Case in point would be you roadhog. I have never personally attacked or questioned you in any way. I have always enjoyed your posts. Our views of the industry may differ greatly, but that is what a forum is all about. You've made your case. We'll move on from here.

I wonder why that is?

I wonder why that is? If my company offered me six figures to sit in a office, I would give up my route in a heartbeat.

I wonder why that is? Besides everything I have is paid for, all of my kids are gown and out of college, I don't need that kind of money anymore. I can do what I WANT to do instead of what I HAVE to do. It's a nice feeling.
