Pros
This is the kind of job where hard work pays off and you will get out of it what you put in. Once you get out of training you essentially get to run your own business. One of the biggest pros for me about this job is the control I have over my own career and how much money I make. It’s really up to you and the effort you put in will determine what your paycheck looks like. If you are willing to work hard and do what it takes that can be a golden ticket. If you are willing to really invest the time in yourself this opportunity can change your life. If you are looking for an easy job where you can sit around all day putting in minimal effort while still making a lot in commission, this job is not for you.
Cons
Dealing with trucking companies can be frustrating. While most are hard working and responsible, you will sometimes need to deal with rude, angry and unreliable people who blame you for things that are completely out of your control. This aspect of the job requires very thick skin.
