Is Truck Driving [18 Wheelers ] Over The Road – Long Distance A Miserable Job ? It Pays Ok Doesnt It ??
My hubby has been doing this work on and off for 30 years. He was home while our kids were small. 3 1/2 years ago he bought his own Peterbilt and has been trucking coast to coast ever since. When it’s busy and you’re making money it’s very good. In the wintertime it can be a bear! He happens to love this work and we just tighten our belts when times are lean. You make more money being an owner operator than you do being a company driver. However, company drivers get more perks than owner operators, like medical, paid vacations, disability. You can email me if you have more questions.

We have some friends (a couple) who drive truck for a living, short and long haul, and they both hate it. The money is OK, between the two of them about 100k a year. But they can’t stand to drive anywhere on their time off, they are bitter about having to deal with people any more, they can’t enjoy a restaurant because they have to eat out so much already, and their backs hurt constantly. They both have high blood pressure, and have had clots in their legs. We used to think, wouldn’t that be neat, to travel the country, see a lot of different folks and such. But as they told us, all you see is the freeway, and the only folks you see are other truckers. Something to think about…!
