The Great Trucking Job! 

If there is a better job out there please let me know about it!

Imagine someone told you they wanted to hire you for a special trucking job. You say "Ok, what do I have to do?" They tell you it's a fun job and they will pay you over $300 a day to do it. They tell you they need you to drive down the road and talk to your friends on your cell phone, listen to your favorite shows on a satellite radio, eat ,smoke, and nap as you see fit. Oh, and I almost forgot, you can be home everyday and they will give you excellent benefits also%u2026.

You would probably think they are crazy right?

In reality this is what I get paid to do. Sure, you spend a few minutes on paper work and a few minutes to inspecting your truck and that's about it. It almost sounds to good to be true. It is the trucking job I didn't know existed and most people don't. I worked for one of the largest corporations in Las Vegas for several years. It wasn't until I got into the trucking industry that I finally got paid sick days, paid holidays, top paid vacation time, and I'm actually off on the holidays.

If you need to make some extra cash can you make it at your current job? Drive an extra day, make an extra $300 dollars! With a great trucking job you can really make as much as you want to. If you need money and want to work extra its not a problem. The last job I had would not give extra hours or offer overtime for any reason.

Ask your self a few simple questions: If you stay doing what you doing for the next 10-30 years will you be happy? Will you be able to retire and live comfortable? Do you enjoy your job? What kind of freedom do you have at your current job? Are you aware that taking no action is a decision in itself, and is usually rewarded with nothing but more of the same old stuff.

It took me three months to get one of these jobs! I took a chance and quit a job of 14 years making $17 dollars an hour and doubled my income with three months experience. Can you name any other profession that will pay some one this kind of money without a college degree? You wouldn't believe what I had to put up with for that $17 bucks and now I am free to do what I want. I know there are millions of people who would jump at the chance to have a job like mine if they only knew it existed. They go to work their miserable jobs and hate every minute of it.

I know and understand this because I was one of them for a long time!

That's why I wrote the Ebook! "How to make $65-$95,000 Driving a Truck and be Home Everyday" These are the trucking jobs that everyone would want if they only knew these trucking jobs existed. I would put my trucking job up against any job in a side by side comparison of stress level, income ,tax breaks, benefits and freedom. All it takes is a little ambition, a desire to improve yourself, and you can do exactly what I did!

    Your claims sound impossible. I don't believe what you're saying to these desperate drivers out here. I think you're just trying to make a buck on some "fairy-tale-get rich quick" BS. Bet you won't put this one up on your site will ya?

    I've been a Trucker for 35 Years. Started out Slow and Rough.53 Bulldog Mack,21speed Quadraplex Tranny and a whopping 7.5 cents per mile.I know what some of you folks are goin thru.Been there done that.Not tryin for a free book.Alway's paid for what I wanted to have. Just commenting.Always thought there should be a way for folks like us to "Lay it out Streight" about Bad outfits in our Industry Scamming really Would-be good Safe Drivers trying to make a decent Living and a successful Career, but somehow end up in a proverbial "Hog-Pen" some joker refers to as "His Successful Trucking Company". Sad to say,,some of those people got where they are from Ripping off good Honest People.That's why they still keep Hell's Front Doors "Well Greased". There are Bad Apples amoung us as Drivers though just like there are Hog-pen Truck out-fits.We simply must go ahead and Id them just like they Id us thru DAK and others.I sympathize, and wish you all"Happier Truckin".It ain't all Bad.SongWriter.

    Well I suppose its kinda nice to know Im not the only one to get screwed out here.
    I did the CR England school and otr bend over program. You know the one that promises lots of money and miles.
    The school cost via the generous student load was $3200. Repayment was only $183. per week, which comes out of my pay 1st.
    My best week driving for them was 1583 miles at .24 cents per mile,thats a whooping $379.92 minus my loan payment = 196.92 after taxes $140.99 and they want me to join there lease program.
    Obviously its not possible to pay for a mortgage, car note, and food to live.
    What a great rip off!!!!!

    I grew up the son of an Independent truck driver. I thought some day I would take over only to find to my suprise that a short 14 years later there wasn't a family business to take over. So I had to try and make my own way. I started by driving for oilfield companies working all hours of the day and night, sometimes all day and all night being paid 7.00 an hour working 7 days a week with little or no time off and when I was off I spent this time sleeping. So one day I thought there had to be a better way so even though I had truck driving experience driving for my dad from the time I was 18 till I was 24, I went to a Truck Driving School because I was told by another driver that this was the only way to get a job with a good company driving over the road. Well after attending and graduating I found out the company I wanted to drive for did not hire from this school. Well I went back home and started driving local. 17 years later am still making the same money. jackiet@swbell.net

    I decided that local driving just wasn't enough to support my family. So I decided to make a career change. I started driving with a company for my training, which really was not bad except being away from my family so long and only making 350.00 a week. I kept telling myself it would not be that bad once I started mileage pay but when I brought home my 3rd paycheck it was only 33.26 bring home for 1 week that was it. I can not support my family on this kind of pay.

    I was an otr driver for years and made half decent money but was never home. I came off the road 8 mo. ago so that I could spend time at home with my 7 yr. old daughter that I just found out about. My new job however doesn't have me home very much either. And the pay, well, I could make as much at an hourly factory at about minimum wage. And the bankrupcy court is inevitable at this point. Hoping to win this ebook so that I can make what I need to make and still be able to hopefully make up for seven years and build from there with an unknown daughter. My so called local job has me running illegal to barely bring home 400.00, not to mention the waiting for hours for loads and being left with anywhere from 3 to 5 hours inbetween the next loads. I'm also unloading myself and usually waiting to be able to do that. I am so very blessed to finally know about my daughter and I not only want but I need to make a good difference in her life. I know I can do that with the right job.

    I had to leave my warehouse job, due to injury back in October or '07, when I started researching a career change I saw all the hype advertised by many trucking companies: "company sponsored CDL training, make thousands a month, etc." but even though talking to family that are truckers themselves and confirming a lot of lies they had been told as well, I decided to go ahead and continue to pursue this career, most of my family is making great money, but they got royally screwed when they started, they tell me the same thing, "don't expect a regional job or to get paid much if you're a newbie", which really scares me, since I have a 2 year old and my wife is 8 months pregnant and almost taking maternity leave, my unemployment is almost exhausted and credit cards and other bills are pilling up, my doctor said I'm 100% ready to do any type of job again, but if I take a full time job the program that would pay for my CDL classes would find me ineligible, talk about being cornered!

    I was burnt out from turnin wrenches and wanted something different. So I went to school to learn to drive a tractor trailer, well the recruiter of the school promised me I would make $100k driving long distance but i wantyed to stay local for my family, well he couldn't help me out. See the school was in good with a big carrier. and refered everybody who didn't want to stay local to them, you know kickbacks and what not. So the only job locally I could find was driving a dump truck,which was not bad until it rained, or snowed. I didn't get payed by the mile or by the hour. just by the percentage of what the truck hauled. well money got tight and i had to go to work at the quarry i was hauling from to keep an even paycheck. after 3 years of hard work there they rewarded me with a corperate lay off. So now I am looking to drive again.

Changing Careers 

Changing careers is stressful for anyone and I don't care how tough or confident you are. Deep down inside you will have doubts, concerns, worst case scenarios eating away at your subconscious mind. You may start to second guess your decisions and back out of your career change at the last minute. It is the fear of the unknown that gets us, and in some cases the fear of success.

I quit my job of 14 years, full benefits, a months paid vacation, and child support obligations to take a shot at making a career change. Most of my peers thought I was crazy! I had nothing lined up except that I would investigate and go to a trucking school if I could.

I quit my job, sold my furniture, and drove my car to Wisconsin from Las Vegas to stay with family. I knew that if I stayed at my job and tried to play it safe I would not have followed through with my career change plan. I could have stayed in Las Vegas an investigated truck driver schools and investigate is about all I would have done. Sometimes you have to jump of the cliff or step into the frying pan so to speak! This way there is no turning back! The point of no return. This method will turn you into a super achiever because you have no choice but to go full steam ahead! If you play it safe you might not have the determination and motivation that you might need to succeed. Knowing that if times got tough, I could just go back to my old job, I probably would have went back in three weeks! Make no mistake, I have the best career job I have ever had but it wasn't easy every step of the way.

I was able to get into the trucking industry and get one of the best trucking career jobs that there is with only three months truck driving experience. I am not in the Guinness book of world records. I knew no one in the trucking industry and had no connections of any kind. My point is this. I did what I did and you can do it also! You may do it faster than I did it or it may take you a bit longer.

I know that if you decide to get into the trucking industry you will be able to get a trucking career job like mine in no time. Getting into the trucking industry without any help of any kind would be like playing Russian roulette with your Trucking Career.

Having a clear objective and knowing what I was after would have saved me a lot of stress, confusion, and time. I can only imagine the frustration of finding out about trucking career jobs like mine after spending years working for peanuts like most drivers do.

Truck Drivers Make More! 

We have all heard the saying "He's got a mouth like a truck driver". Growing up we hear many things that steer us away or towards different jobs in life. No thanks to Hollywood, its portrayal of truck drivers, and the bad accidents we see on the evening news, it seems truck drivers get a bad rap.

Most believe truck drivers are low paid vagrant types that live on the road drifting in and out of trouble. These stereotypes I find to be humorous for I am a truck driver. I have many peers and none of them fit this profile. My peers all make $65,000-$100,000 dollars a year with trucking jobs and most of us are home everyday with our families. We live in above average homes with above average toys.

There is a truck driver shortage in this country that is growing larger every year. Every time I see someone working a menial job living paycheck to paycheck struggling to survive I scratch my head. I cant help but wonder if they have a drivers license. Because having a drivers license is all someone needs to get started and make the aforementioned money in a years time with a trucking job.

There is no need to spend hundreds of thousands on an college education only to graduate too make much less with massive debt. Most would believe that a college degree would enable you to earn more money than with a trucking job. I know many people with degrees whose salaries are not half of a truck driver.

There are many high paying trucking jobs in the trucking industry available with no need to be away from home or live on the road. I don't believe that the general public is aware these trucking jobs even exist. I know this because of the shocked looks on faces when I explain what I make, and what I do.

The greatest thing about trucking jobs vs. a regular job is the amount of freedom you have. You can't put a price on freedom of a trucking job , and you will find no other job that will give you as much of it. So the next time you see a truck driver remember this; his investment portfolio and his home are probably 3 times the size of the average American household. He has no student loans to pay back and he has the freedom to talk "like a truck driver" if he wants to!
