- While being a truck driver, I have made plenty of mistakes in my career. I felt like talking about a few of them in this video.

I have had my cdl for 5 years and worked 3+ years.....jumped from over 8+ trucking companies......shows you how bad it can be......it can be mentally challenging......having done otr,regional,and local.......local is the best but it still sucks 😂😅
Man I got fired from a six figure gig. My biggest regret in trucking so far. I’m with a company now while good I make like $82K-$84K. Can’t even pass that six figures no more. I’m sick.
Come work for Walmart. I've cleared well over $100k ever since starting. The benefits are best and the way you're treated is unreal my bro. I'm actually shocked walmart has a driver shortage. I'm set to male $115k this year and best part is zero stress compared to all those OTR companies. Easy money. Already paid off a nice house and thinking of getting a C8 Vette soon. Then throw the rest into more rental properties for myself.
@@The_Hulkster I’ll look into them one day. No accidents and four years experience
That's tough. At least you didn't have a bigger drop in pay though
You ever tried to haul fuel locally?
@@BornGreatMike No
You no longer drive for USPS?
5000 for a C.D.L not a bad deal.You can have that paid off in one year,with no problem.
Yeah. It took me a little over a year it could have been done faster
For me it was closer to $2k through my local community college, and closer to $6k through driving school. I obtained a grant through my state that would pay for up to 90% of costs as long as I found a job within a number of months after graduation. I got through school paying something like $1,200 to $1,350 including the driver and endorsement tests, and probably spent close to $40 or so on fuel. All-in-all it was well worth it, although they got me addicted to 18 speeds. Found a local hazmat job driving automatic Peterbilts and this last Thanksgiving marked one full year. Now I’m going on second year wishing trucks could be cheaper cause I only have $23k saved up and only make about $47-$57k/year. At a rate of $32k-$35k/year (only saved about $17k my first year from the student loans I paid off) it feels impossible to save up for a $70-$80k truck that will probably need another $30k invested in the first three or four months of ownership. I work 40-60 hours a week and I feel like $50k average makes zero sense; the job is 80% labor and I am ready to go elsewhere and drive primarily and looking forward to closer to six figures net.
I got my license through Pepsi but could've went through Community College
How’s Pepsi rookie experience? Pay good?
