The trucking industry seems like a good match for me but I have one concern: 70 hour work week.
The solitude, being away for weeks at a time is not an issue for issue for me. I actually love driving on the highway.
However, 10 or more hours a day seems a bit much. And at least 2 companies I have looked at said expect to hit 70hpw.
The question is: as truckermike points out the jobs are basically about from getting from point a to point b within a set amount of day/hours - are most jobs actually such that you must do 70 hours a week to be on time? Or is a 50 hour work week realistic?

Realistic Expected Avg. Hours Driving per day/week
Hey there,

Thanks guys.
