I checked that out, it looks like a good gig except that the only opening is based about 8 hours from where I live. Good thought though, I'll check into that company every now and again just in case something pops up closer. It's pretty unlikely given the very specific and limited nature of trucking in the Upper Peninsula. We're only "in between" Canadian destinations so most of the through truck traffic you see here is Canadian. You'll see some Roehl trucks who service a small factory called Superior Extrusion, a bunch of local trucks owned by the brother of a coworker called MJ VanDamme, you see some mainstream company trucks serving the Walmart account and in and out of the handful of Big Boxes here... and the vast majority of the rest is done by a company called "US Special Delivery"...some of their old equipment used to say U.P. Special Delivery" that sort of specializes in this UP/Northeast Wisconsin area. Those US/UP drivers have a really tough job with the generalized truck-unfriendliness of the towns here and the wintery/salty/deery nature of the driving, not to mention the 55mph speed limit.
There is a shitload of turnover where I work, so plenty of drivers have come and gone with stories of the driving jobs around here. It's a small area both geographically and in terms of people, so there aren't many mysteries as to what's a good job and what isn't. I'm not aware of anything around here that's a particularly good professional driving job.
Maybe it’s an ill advised strategy to live in the boonies UP. Yes housing is cheap and the scene is beautiful, but the work is the suck. Maybe a change of scene is what will get your mind right and make the second half of your life journey more fun. With your skills, Utah might be a sweet adventure.
Don’t check out.
And don’t be jealous of BS. He’s just a used car salesman. You probably ski more. I expect you ski better also.
I get mildly jealous of rich ski bums. I never get jealous of the 1/10 of 1/10 of 1% that collect the stupid cars in this thread.

Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason
I've known a lot of rich people in my life, but none that I'm jealous of. There's only one way to score points in this game - make your own decisions and live with the consequences. Any day you spend calling your own shots puts one in the win column. You can be homeless and still bat 1.000.
Yup. If this thread bugs you it might help to remember that its purposes are not just as Bobby might define them. Outside of those, the caricature-level proof that money doesn't buy taste, talent or a clue might seem like sour grapes if you can't imagine it from the other side just now, but you know this thread is ongoing proof that life is not about stuff. Irony lives large in here.
At the end of your life you will have helped a lot of people in ways that meant a lot to them. You've done critically important things for people when no one else would or could. You could live differently. You could sell your soul for numbers in a ledger and give up all passionate pursuits. Or worse: you could make that trade and then try to buy it back by spending the money on vain stuff whose value you only understand in dollars. Screw that shit. Don't regret your choices. Make better ones where you can but the difference between better and worse is seldom measurable by accountants.
At what point does Bobby say, " I hate what I do, but i do it for the money". ?
It seems like he likes what he does and is simply showing you snapshots of his life and some of you are getting all pissy pants with jealous indignation.
I know a guy who loves being a banker, another guy who loves being a civil engineer, another guy loves being a dentist. All of them make good money and are potential client s to someone like Bobby. They are all stoked. Why glorify or romanticize being poor? Why make excuses ( besides personal injury / dismemberment) for you life choices as for why you THINK your life sucks?

IAS (yetiman?)get off your ass and write a book already. Reinvent yourself. Even if you are the only one who reads it, it might provide closure and catharsis and understanding as to what things mean to you. Write a non fiction book where at the end you are killing it! The power of words is crazy. If you don't have time for a book start with a daily TO DO list.
Do laundry; take out trash; buy a sonata
If you can write it, it will happen, mark my words

According to this thread Life is about complaining and talking shit about successful people.
What a bunch of losers amiritie? Planning their fiscal future and what not. Pfffff. Dumb.
Powder days bro... So hardcore.
You could turn what you are passionate about into a business...That's what I did.
Most seem to overlook the fact I left the security of a family business to enter a highly competitive line of work where tons of people wash out.
In 6 years I went from sales at Lexus to turning down a GM position at a Ferrari store. I challenge anyone to do the same.
I don't really consider it work anymore.
This. You are wasting your obvious intelligence on driving a bus.

@Carpathian, no one is romanticizing poverty. Passion should create value and value often leads to income. But money is literally the lowest form of commodity and using it to measure your life (or someone else's art) is pure fail. That's not an indictment of anyone with a little money who's still working at something they like, it's a comment on the need to determine value for ourselves and continually evaluate that as we approach the inevitable compromises.
I expect IAS knows to secure his own oxygen before assisting others--sometimes easier said than done.
I guess it's predictable that you would think that was about you. Perhaps so, but no more or less than anyone else, really.
