Profile For Truckdriving B.

He’s a miserable, pessimistic person in general, so I thought I should get some other opinions. I love driving, and can sit for long periods just watching the changing scenery. That’s one reason I’m interested in trucking. What he told me was that if I have back problems, FORGET it. It will destroy my family, and the people in the industry are trashy. I think he’s just a very critical, unhappy person. But I’d like to know: will I blow out my back lifting things? Will I still have enough time with the family? Are the people I’d be dealing with generally good people who I’d not mind being around. I recently had disc replacement surgery for a herniated disc, but other than that, my back is fine. I wouldn’t say I have a “bad back” like many people do. But lifting things could potentially make it worse. Also, can I still make $1500 a week if I stay in my state (FL)? I know that initially I’ll make less. I’m going to explore this forum more, as I just found it. But I wanted to start this thread anyway. Thanks so much!
