Current Events > Younger people should pick becoming a semi truck driver

(+) Yeah! (+)

Dunno what to do with your life but want to make a pretty good living? Get your CDL and become a truck driver. Lowest you'll start out at is 20 dollars an hour!

There's ALWAYS a need and hiring for truck drivers. You'll never be jobless unless you have a criminal record or a bad driving record. You'll be paid a huge amount for mostly hauling shit around the country. Plenty of time to ponder what you want to do with your life while making good money and this is the perfect loner job. New government laws require trucks to use electronic logs now and boomers have no clue how to deal with that because they're too old to use computers, but not you! You are young and smarter than old people and can adapt better to updates and changes.

Most transporting truck company will pay you and your CDL classes! Go do it! Literally the world and its economy relies on you! I do some contract work for this transporting company so I know the business here and there. Please ask if you have any questions.

That's right kids! What do you enjoy more: being replaced by AI trucks or having to drive for 18 hours at a time trying to make the destination while eating unhealthy and rarely seeing your family and fucking your body up?!

WE GOT IT ALL!

My biggest fear of being a truck driver is underestimating how tall my truck is and colliding with a bridge.

We got another 10 years before AI trucks become an actual thing under my estimation. Also government law only allows you to drive up to 12 hours a day in a semi truck and they strictly keep track of this shit. Violations are not tolerated at all. Safety is priority.

You can eat healthy on the road and you get plenty of breaks to mentally and physically take care of yourself.

I mean they put signs up for that sort of thing, and if your load is taller than the standard height you get an escort vehicle so all you have to do is follow that guy.

That's more a local driving issue. Long hauls with a decent company provides you the best safe route from point A to point B.

As a temporary thing, it doesn't seem like a horrible idea. Make sure you have an idea of how you'd want to transition out if it though

I like what I'm doing already and truck driving isn't for me. I'm merely suggesting it for people that may fit for.

Auto driving trucks were already done by The Simpsons.

Most people transition to doing more local stuff rather than far travels.
