Oh, so haul around your wife or girlfriend and make 100k while driving on icy roads, at night, in traffic, at sleazy truck stops, and LIVING in a freaky truck?
Like I said, to live in a truck, and drive in all that nasty, dangerous weather, with all the clowns on the road, they'd have to pay me 200k per year.
And let me tell ya, truck stops are low life and criminal hangouts. That's why the cops/feds have them under surveillance half the time. Drugs, prostitutes, interstate commerce fraud, theft, bums, transients, those on the run... etc, etc.
If you're a young couple in love wanting to make some quick cash, what better opportunity is there? I've hired team drivers, girlfriend/boyfriend in their early 20s who worked for several years nonstop and then they have the money to buy a home (outright) and buy a car (outright). It's better than living paycheck-to-paycheck.

If you can get a regional lane or a dedicated route, you won't have to deal with the weather or big-city traffic. Especially in the South or Midwest (Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri) the scenery is breathtaking.

And the streets in the neighborhood don't have this either? ROFL. Today's truck stops aren't like they were in the 70s. Like the Road America truck stops have full restaurants and convenience stores with sleeping rooms.
You haven’t been to any truckstops lately have you? When we travel on vacation, that is where we stop. LOVES, etc are clean and nice.
Sure there may still be some dives but there are plenty of good clean places for truckers to stop at now.
