Help Get Trucking Off My Mind!

You have to think of other things.....

Jamie Lee Curtis .... in True Lies Sandra Bullock .... in Miss Congeniality

Oops, you're married. Might be a little dated for you tooo... LOL

In True Lies, there's Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the nuclear explosion that's just a two second interruption in the action. Think about that!

There was?

Is that when you went for more popcorn?

20 second movie clip of:

Lobotomy maybe?

Lobotomy maybe?

He wants to get it off his mind, not take his mind out.

Not to be a buzz-kill... but, maybe, you should just think about your wife and kids. Concentrate on your commitment to them... for now. After your kids are grown/out of the house, you complete your wife's "honey-due list" and you take her on a month long cruise... then, you can concentrate on going OTR

Hi all!

I'm not new to the site as I have been browsing it for a long time but just recently decided to register and post. I need some help getting trucking off my mind. I know that sounds weird but its driving me crazy. I currently have a job I love but trucking has always been this passion I have kinda had on the side. My dad and all of my wife's family drive trucks so its something I have always been around and hear about constantly. I love trucks and have had some time driving (not licensed though just in parking lots and stuff). For a while I actually thought about starting a career in that field but realized quickly that its not the right time. You see I am in my late 20's, married and two children (ages 5 and 9) and being away from them drove me bananas! I know I know. I have read the threads about people with young children should wait about driving until they grow up which is solid advice but its something I want so bad that it physically hurts! Bottom line, its not an option for me at the moment no matter how bad I want it due to I would miss out on so much of my kids but I need help getting it off my mind. I can't stop wanting to drive! And to make matters worse, I work at a DC (Yep see trucks all day long). Anyone with advice???

Advice? Yeah, do the job for month, that'll get your head straight. Don't get me wrong, I like the work, but the people who dispatch loads and run these companies, they don't know and they don't care.

I don't care what anyone says, this job is not for the weak.

I have not experienced ambivalent planners and driver managers with Swift. Quite the opposite. When you project a positive and professional attitude most of the time it is returned. Not always the case but usually a person reaps what they sow. I do agree on this, the job is not for the weak and thin- skinned. The effective movement of freight is discompassionate.

Listen to your heart. You seem to already know the right thing to do.
