Wanting to be a truck driver is just plain insanity - please don't do it - take my advice - there are no good companies to work for - they're all horrible - don't waste your time - never believe anything a recruiter tells you - drivers will lie through their yellow brown teeth to get a referral bonus - "oh it's great here - I drive 5000 miles a week easy - I'm home every weekend - I get a new truck every year - I never go to NYC California or Canada - I never wait for loads - I get respect
BULLSHIT!
