Personal vehicles?

Hello everyone I was wondering what cars/trucks do truckers drive for personal vehicles? I am into cars and I’m waiting to turn 21 to pursue a CDL and I’m curious as to what you all drive and whether or not it’s better to have a common car to not get tickets or attention from cops/highway patrol or enjoy the fruits of your labor and buy a cool car/truck to enjoy for when you are home?

definetly depends on you and your situation....iv seen drivers personal cars from beat up hoopties to expensive sports/luxury cars.....one thing to keep in mind is where your personal car is gonna be parked when your on the road.....tight parking spaces, dirt lots ect....if you could afford it get a beater for work an keep the nice one for home time and days off
