Well in that case, yes they are both equal. A truck drives chooses trucking as their job/career knowing the hardships it entails. Are members in the armed forces choose that as their job/career but where the difference comes in is what they do for a living. A truck driver drives around all day. Are troops, I’m sure you know are different. As I said in the comments I appreciate our truckers and I do think they are under appreciated. But the work they do does not compare to the work are troops do.

I drove an old Diamond T in 1945 with an ole contiental engine, the trucking world has changed a lot more from what can imagine. They have great looking trucks, I don't know how they survive with the fuel cost, in 1941 I was paying 5 cents a gallon for gasoline. Keep up the great work truckers.

In loving memory of Richard Henderson, I thank all you truckers for all you do. Richard used to always tell me he hated what he referred to as 90 day wonders, screwing everything up for the real professionals. Richard had 2 million accident free miles in his career as a truck driver. A pretty impressive feat even by todays standards. Once again, for all you professional truckers, you keep America moving, I thank you, and America thanks you! Merry Christmas, and may you be kept safe, at any time you are away from your families back home. Keep on Trucking! MJ from western Colorado.

I look at my future in trucking as a way I will be able to serve my nation.

As a former long-haul trucker with 14 years and over 2 million miles experience I can say this is the most accurate portrayal of the life I've yet seen. I quit driving in 2008 after getting involved with a NIGHTMARE of a company called "K&B" out of Sioux City, Iowa. They were so bad that the DOT had shut them down a year before I hired on! If I had known that then I might still be driving today.

I spent 35+ years of my life in a rig and believe me when I tell you that it's a life style, not just a job. Folks think it's an easy life and truckers make a bundle but it's not like that anymore, or at least not when I retired in 2010. When I started driving back in 1979, I hauled coal in the tri-state area of OH, PA & WV just to get the feel of local and freeway running until I felt comfortable enough for the open road and after 4 years of local running I took a job with an O/O who eventually sold me one of his trucks and from that point on I went independent When the cost of fuel started going thru the roof and maintenance cost got out of hand, I leased my truck to another driver and I began driving for a pretty good outfit out of Cedar Rapids where I worked also as a trainer for them for a year & a half until I crawled out of the sleeper birth one night late and the gal I was training was rolling along at 70 mph with fog so thick you couldn't even see to the end of the headlight beams and I about killed her! That ended my days as a trainer and finally I finished my last 5 years in the business working for an outfit out of San Diego, CA as their Safety Director and Director of Training which was a pretty sweet job. I had a nice cushy desk job, driving a new company p/u, wearing some real nice looking tailored suits but I loved it because I was still around the rigs. I always thought I would miss it like crazy when it was coming close to retirement time for me simply because it was all I knew and even though I did miss it for a short time, recalling those nasty winters running the northern corridor and up into Canada all those years the missing soon faded and I've been enjoying my retirement ever since. Oh, I still read my huge library of OTR magazines and I'm sure some recall that great trucker's magazine "Overdrive" that had the "Model of the Month" contest which I entered a few times and twice actually made it in the magazine with 1st place one year and 3rd place another year. I still build my stash of the nice "old school" AMT and ERTL model kits for the rigs & trailers so I guess the trucking never really leaves us after all, lol. Great little flick, thanks for the upload.

I will miss driving truck till my last breath , but not ALL the rules , regs , cost , and stupidity thats grown worse every year , no sir. Theres a pattern that started years ago , and trucking was not immune. Everytime theres a good job that might let you get ahead of the game a little , that you dont mind doing. Someone will ALWAYS find a way to ruin it in the name of making it better and progression.. salute drivers , and God Bless.

Trying to move goods from point A to point B in a minimum of time with the conditions and COSTS that truckers face would be a night-mare for most people.

Man this is like 2008 and these guys were bitching about DOT regulations, fuel prices and the lack of respect towards drivers. Fast forward to 2023 and drivers are still bitching about the same issues but things are much worse now, especially the DOT regulations. At least back then truckers still had some freedoms, such as paper logs and not having a camera in your face while driving.

Wow❤ I've always wanted to be a Trucker...they don't get the credits they really deserve! Staying on the road with them big rigs rollin' and making zero mistakes because a mistake can cost lives in traffic.... I have the upmost respect to all them Truckers. They have families too, waiting for them to come home save❤ The Truckers are The Foundation of each Country in the World, thank you❤

I think Claude's tale of intentionally crashing his truck so he didn't kill anyone, was very brave and heroic. I'm getting there with my CDL, and I already know there's a lot of split-second thinking you have to do on the road. When I have my first drive shaft break, I'll think of him.

I fell in love with Buck 65's music because of this film. I drive a tank yanker in the Texas oilfields and there ain't no money in it out here either. I mean $50,000 for a first year driver really is way above average. But there are just too many trucks out here now, not enuff work for all of them and the cost of living is absolutely outrageous! So 50 grand really felt like 20 in any other town with a reasonable cost of living.

The honest truth about trucking from a 42 year veteran. There are 2 types of truckers. Those that drive to earn a living and those that to whom truck driving is a way of life. If your doing this JUST for money, good luck, chances are you won't last. There are easier ways to make money. However, for those like me to whom this is a way of life, there's nothing else we would do. The freedom, is where it's at for me. Dispatch send me a load, if I want it I take it, If not I wait. My choice. Once I have the load, as long as I get it there on time, what ever I do, how ever I go, when ever I stop is up to me. No boss telling me it's break time, No bell's telling me it's time to go home, no stupid time card etc etc etc. Has it cost me, oh he&* yea, 3 wife's. But in my defense, they knew what I did when they married me. You gotta enjoy being alone. I'm 64, still driving and still loving it. I'll drive till I can't any more or I die.

+Tony White Just don't go out there thinking uour king of the road as way to many do. Listen to more experienced drivers when they offer advice. And take it easy till you some miles on you. Thats one I didn't listen to. first winter, my only accident. ice on the bridge and i lost it. Lucky for me no one else involved. All i did was jack knife it and slide off the road. So, please, respect what uour driving. this job is fun. You get to dee things and placed. But it only takes one little mistake. Be safe my friend and have patience.
