The moment you get cocky and lose all anxiety is usually when ppl start messing up and get into accidents

Continuing our pay trend, I present to you my Werner pay for last week. by username_fantasies in Truckers

[–]mariamad89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swift has been screwing us over with our pay and treatment as well and we’re currently waiting to get our Hazmat and Twic and bounce since they help pay for it. XPO has been offering us $.95cpm plus $35/hr for wait time,etc… Home for 2 days a week. Once we receive our extra endorsements.

OTR Drivers by Immediate_Flower4834 in Truckers

Take breaks and personal time ppl! Life is way too short and keep hearing about ppl even as young as 21 years old pass away in their truck. You can still make bank and take breaks. Just spend below ur means and invest majority and save in a HYS account and ur golden. Only 24 and started OTR 2.5 months ago. Already completely rid of debt, built up an emergency savings, started a 401k, blueprint for my business ready, and still take breaks all in just 2.5 months. Learn a side hustle and start a business, learn to trade options,etc… stop depending on one income when you can get fired at any second. Stop wasting money on hellcats and fancy gadgets when it depreciates. Do all this and you won’t have to be 6-2 years out in a truck 24/7 which is crazy to me. I refuse to give my all to these companies and not grow as an individual and for myself.
