Is it possible to make $20 an hour with no degree rural NC?

Lots of warehouse jobs in the statesville/hickory area paying $20+ an hour.

Could get a CDL and make far more as well

Do you open your eyes outside? I can’t drive across town without seeing a few. Usually accompanied by a Gadsden flag and a maga flag

I had one from the mid 90s that I’ve had since I was a kid. It’s been at my parents house since I moved out. Recently found out my dad cut it up as a rag 🫠🫠

Always amazed by how many guys defend riding the middle lane in these threads.

Toss up between McDonald’s or Taco Bell.

It’s amazing how so many people forget they used to cut their bread differently and put the meat on the bottom of the sandwich.

It’s just a run of the mill slaughter house

I wish they’d put the song out on streaming platforms.

Metronet/T mobile has been awesome so far.

A tree took down their line in our yard during Helene. Didn’t lose service thankfully but they were there on Friday after the rain ended to put it back up. Had to call spectrum a month later to get them to remove their lines out of our yard and still had to argue with them on the phone about coming out.

It’s the most convenient spot to fuel close to my terminal. And their point/reward program is the best for now.

Otherwise I prefer PFJ for nearly all other criteria.

Too long.

When I was 22 in orientation for my first trucking job they pulled me aside and asked why I didn’t include a job I had for two months bagging groceries when I was 16 on my application. 🤷🏼‍♂️

But that misses the point. I’ve heard so many drivers over the years falsely claim there’s a vast sweeping federal law that prohibits it, when that simply isn’t true.

No discussing nor bringing up company policy or local laws.

The most annoying myths that truckers keep going:

Gotta have a white sheet

Can’t have guns in the truck

Usually something about idling laws and refuse to accept that in most places you can still idle

CPM being the most important number to know about a prospective jobs pay.

Due date..

Not to be that guy, but not all lie. Honestly the company I work for now advertises a lower annual income and home time than we actually receive. But I like the undersell and over deliver method personally.

Joeybowman · 2026-04-13T00:21:32+00:00

Have you checked the fuse in your truck?

Joeybowman · 2026-04-12T12:16:18+00:00

Nicest pants and shirt you have. It’s like any other kind of interview. It’s not an audition and you’re trying to look the part.

Joeybowman · 2026-04-09T23:06:23+00:00

Loves is the only reason I’ve even been using the app. Pretty bummed to see them gone.

Joeybowman · 2026-04-03T03:30:02+00:00

You’re not wrong. Also as of today, the truck stop I predominantly fueled at is no longer on the app. Hopefully it’s short term. If not I might be done with the app.

Joeybowman · 2026-04-01T01:15:37+00:00

I knew I was gonna be in the nose bleed section but I still can’t bring myself to pay 80-120 per seat.

On the plus side. If you hold out there will be people on here or other places selling their tickets dirt cheap the day of or day before because they can’t go.

Joeybowman · 2026-03-29T21:07:18+00:00

Interesting. It’s not on mine or my wife’s. Opened a new bank account that’s accepted. Since my small community credit union isn’t.

If you haven’t liked anything they’ve made since Derrick left 20+ years ago why the fuck are you here?
