Idk I’m in IT now and debating becoming a truck I’m tired of having to use my brain to wage I’d rather just sit in a truck and listen to music/podcasts

There is a catch. My dad is a trucker and he pulls regular 10-12 hour shifts and it's a lot of heavy lifting.

My dad is a care hauler. It seems like the way to go when it comes to trucking. Hours are just as long though

Maybe you have to constantly think if you are an IQ 85 retard, but most of IT tasks are completely brainless and only require a couple of seconds.
I do that then spend the rest of the time playing games while waiting for the time the task should be done and then finally do it pretty fast.

how do i short the solar bubble?

the tech is garbage and doesn't make sense without massive government subsidies which have been basterdized by fraud. I had some solar salesman tell me he could just give me 10k and say he installed them

I am considering trucking also. What's it like for a new CDL-A trucker?

I can only speak from my dad's experience, but as a car hauler it all depends on how hard you work and how many cars you move. As a company driver he makes between 70 - 80k a year. When he decided to buy his own truck but work for the same company he was making 120k+

Those "base salaries" are complete bullshit, correct? The numbers sounds enormous, even for US standards.
Over here in France, you can divide all those numbers by 3 or 4 and you'd be way closer to reality. All while our taxes and cost of living are higher than yours.

Try getting a Net+ and Sec+, but more importantly, focus on actually building skills. Build a homelab, learn the basics, work your way up in topic complexity.

Trucking is rough friendO. Most of my new drivers quit, because I send them away to drop cargo and they don’t come back home until the weekend . Yes, you will only drive for 10 hours top a day, but you will wait plenty hours for cargo to be loaded up. By the way, companies are paying Shit for cargo and Gas is really expensive…. Even then my drivers are making 1500 a week on the low (I paid them % of the weekly gross).

That list is garbage. Pharmacists make on average like $120-140k nowadays. I make $195k annually after bonuses and picking up an extra shift most weeks.

You don't need a CDL for a hot shot truck, which is any vehicle with GCVWR below 26k lbs, as long as you stay within state lines and don't run hazardous materials.

Give it a trial run doing UberEATS or Walmart spark deliveries. Noon to midnight, and you have to sleep in your car. It's not quite the same, but it's one of the few jobs you can at least simulate and try before you buy.

Awesome economy the US has these days, you have three choices:
1. Scam people with real estate
2. Provide life saving medicine to obese boomers that blame you for any health problem they have
3. Download dildo.js package and create a killer new web app nobody will ever use
