The only jobs where you risk your life daily and still get no thanks—truckers, law enforcement, and the military. They keep the country running and safe… but most people don’t even notice
Bought a semi for $200K two years ago, and now the rates are so bad I’m driving just to keep up with the payments. This is the brutal reality for so many truckers today.
Trucking is the easiest job in the world! $75,000 a year sounds great—until you realize it’s for 80 hours a week. That’s $18/hour to live on the road, shower in public, and sleep in a moving truck while trusting someone else to not kill you.
400 trucks. 70 years in business. Gone overnight. Carroll Fulmer, a major Florida trucking company, is shutting down—blaming lawsuits and the Great Freight Recession. 600 employees laid off. And this is just the beginning
Imagine making $80,000 a year and people think you're rich. But they don't see the 168 hours a week you're away from home, sleeping in a truck, eating gas station food, and missing your family. That's not living. That's surviving.
