[QUOTE="jumpman23, post: 1153512, member: 40276"] Theres several scenarious you can go with. First thing i would ask is how old you are. You definitely dont want to start driving too young if you are planning or expecting to drive 30 years nowadays. Youll never make it to 30 years now with as hard as these fools have made the job. If you do by some miracle make 30 years your body will be so broken down itll be ridiculous. If you do start young like 21 to 25 open up a 401k and stuff as much money in it as possible and dont go crazy and have a big mortgage and big car payment. Live within your means. And most importantly dont have any kids lol. You can stash alot of money away and put in 20 years if you can and get out while you are still physically in 1 piece. You can go get another job til your eligible to collect your pension and you have alot of money in your 401k to help assist you in expenses til you collect your pension. Ok next step if you can and have the resources staying as a temp seasonal driver your whole career and having a side job such as working for a friend or a family business is definitely a way to go. This way you only have to deal with these idiots bs 6 months a year instead of the whole 12 months. Another benefit of staying as a temp seasonal is you drive during the warm months and only have to deal with maybe nov n dec as the cold months or bad weather also. Youll have to deal with xmas but you can make alot of cash during the peak. Alot of the veteran drivers will tell you how much bs you have to deal with when your fulltime it can be a real headache thats for sure. The job aint what it used to be.
