Profile For Mr.Jaunty

I guess a part of it is understanding that no matter what you do, there are going to be bad days, I'm used to those, I come from two messed up familys, both with a long histories of Trucking coincidentally.

Life gets a lot easier when you accept that **** happens, and it always will, every day, and that you can fix it, or you can't, no need to worry about it.

Won't know I like it for sure until I try, and for me, the pro's seem to good to pass up for the con's.

Thanks Navy vet, I wasn't aware of the app.

And 6 String Rhythm, I think I know what you mean. I'm listening to a podcast that's talking about truckers and their mindset, why some are happy with their job and some hate it. How you deal with all the stress thrown your way. The perseverance to keep going that first year, I understand this is the most difficult time in a truckers career. And honestly after these past few years, things just roll off my back, so to speak. I know I can commit and excel as long as I have that desire. And I always learn the best when it's sink or swim time.

The only reason I'm hesitant, is I'm kinda stuck in a job, I thought it was a great opportunity at first, but as time goes on, the more I think it's a fast track to nowhere. I've been here a little over a year, and I plan on one more to see if my boss can sort things out, but I can't make 12000$ a year and do something I'm just not interested in forever. I'd leave but I don't want leave this guy high and dry (I'm his only employee, besides his wife) as he got me out of chick-fil-a, and I'll ALWAYS be grateful for that huge brake, that job was killing me. These long stretches of no work coming in for weeks on end, I can only sweep the workshop so many times. I have to tough it out though, I'm paid hourly, and I've got bills to pay.

Thank Scott. I think I'm gonna start the High road training program. I'm already read the book, and I've spun through the guide quite a bit. Sure didn't see the Trucking Company Reviews though, I'll be sure to check that out.

I'm 21 years old, live in Jacksonville, Florida. It's something that's always been interesting, and over the last few years some I've really wanted to at the very least try. I've done research, read articles, watched videos... I've heard horror stories and endless praise alike. Never talked to people in the industry though, I found this site and I'm currently reading that free e-book.

I'm convinced that trucking would be a great path for me to go down, so I guess what I'm asking for is a critique. Any information you want to judge, just ask, I'm an open book, not sure which page to go to is all.

Any help will be immensely appreciated.
