The Misconceptions of Trucking Jobs
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-$95,000 Dollars a
year
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 less than a years time.
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 a truck
driver. I know many people with
degrees whose salaries are not
half of a truck driver.
There are many high
paying 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 high paying 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 driving a truck vs. a regular job is the amount of freedom
you have. You can't put a price
on freedom of driving, 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!
