Any Homeless Truckers Out There?
Topic 11178 | Page 4
I stay out as much as possible and then when I take time off I consider one hotel as my home. I go there everytime and trucking pays me enough to go there for a week. Don't have to pay for breakfast, electric, wifi, water, no need for a gym membership, and they have many good restaurants and stores close by.
I stayed OTR for 6 years. Paid off $68k in debt.... Saved up a couple hundred thousand in cash and 401k. Last year I got an apartment and life is amazing

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
WOW! Thanks for your reply

I know it’s been 7 years since this post was made, I would be curious to know how the adventure went. I am starting school soon and plan to stay out on the road just like this. Thanks for reply
