what's the pay/benefits situation? truck driving has always been a weird "what if" job that i would consider if things ever went south with my career. things like that or flight attendant or cop - things i know actually have decent pay/benefits and don't require a degree

Some companies give benefits immediately and some give them after 30 days..
Starting pay sucks until you get enough experience and get on a dedicated account, Im currently doing teams on a dedicated account, got on with only 3 months experience, the pay fluctuates weekly depending on the miles, last week I got $1820 after deductions, tomorrow Im getting $2380 after deductions

good stuff. how many hours of actual driving would you say you do on a daily basis? like i would say hours per day of work, but i know there is downtime for weigh stations, gas, breaks, etc.

You can only drive up to 11 hours a day..the guy I drive with were driving at least 10:40 a day, our stuff is drop and hook so its easy to keep moving..you can drive less but it all depends on your appointment time (if youre late you can always blame traffic/weather) and the less you drive the less $$$$, we go out 14 days then go home for 4-6 days so we keep moving as much as possible while were out

so you actually get to split that 11 hour day with another person?

No, each driver can drive up to 11 hours a day so when youre doing teams the truck can keep going
Now if youre by yourself then you can drive up to 11 hours but then youll have to sit somewhere for 10 consecutive hours before you can drive again

Driving with 2 people gets around that law because each person can switch out when their time is up.

Costco truck drivers start at like 30 an hour and get up to the mid, high 30's. Need 3 years experience to even apply so just lie about that. Get 1 year and wing it. Count the training/school time as experience honestly.

congrats, TC! what kinda job are you looking to get? one where you're just out for the day and home each night, or longer trips where you're gone for days at a time or longer?

i've always thought i might kinda enjoy driving a truck, since i dont mind road trips at all. i can do a 9-10 hour trip in the car, no problem. just throw on some music and navigate the traffic and time passes pretty quick. only issue i have with it is that i wouldn't be able to pass a pee test on the regular

Shit so you'd be stuck in the passenger seat for another 11 hours? That honestly sounds awful, but that's probably because I can't sleep for shit on cars/planes.

Get the other shots ffs. Also the vaccine wouldnt have taken affect when you got it so you got lucky with a mild case.

Truck stops are fine, I carry 2 bottles just in case

You get used to it in a day or 2

do you just smartphone to goof off?
Sometimes before I go to sleep

what about food?
I always go shopping the day before we head out, I do teams so I dont buy a lot due to space, theres restaurants around truck stops so no issues

Do yall listen to music? Is that even allowed?
I wake up 30 minutes before its my turn to drive and make a playlist for YouTube and music, just depends on my mood, yes its allowed, I have a Bluetooth headset that covers 1 ear and its perfect

Chat on the CB?
No, nothing but moronic tough guy imposters

Depends on the company and what kind of account it is, in my opinion I wouldnt do short distance because thats less miles, in most cases less miles = less $$$$.
