So I left the air force to do trucking, since I drove fuel tankers there it made sense to get into trucking. I’m currently 5 months into OTR with hirschbach and I want out badly. But I am having a hard time finding a place I can fit in. I have no schooling aside from HS, and only have a cdl. Being away from home isn’t so bad as long as I’m making enough, but its not the case. I’m away from home now on my 2nd month without being home and I’m getting eaten alive by bills. I’m out getting ran ragged and don’t have any money to show for it. It’s got bad to the point my wife’s mother has had to help out because my paychecks are so embarrassingly small. I don’t think I even want to be in the industry after such a bad taste in my mouth. What else can I do. I don’t know what to do.
Edit: miles are technically there for me, but I was given a lemon truck that ALWAYS has something wrong with it. So I’m constantly needing to stop for repairs. That costs so much time on miles. Like for the past 10 days my apu has been a paperweight. Been freezing my ass off in the truck since it has the auto shut off feature so good luck either staying warm or getting sleep. Can’t do both.
