The sense of service is what keeps truckers going. If they thought it was a pointless job, they'd try to do something else. It's a pretty bad career to be honest.

[@jacobhuff7224]

People would find a way to survive. They would have to come together with their neighbors and form their own means of producing goods. If anything, the ability to purchase goods from around the world has devastated peoples sense of community. I’ve talked to many people from South America and they depend on local markets to get their food and other goods. They do just fine. Americans have become spoiled on a wasteful life style.

[@lexajonsdottir]

My husband is an OTR trucker, and I'm his copilot. We listen to books, news, podcasts, and all sorts of things to keep our minds busy when we aren't chatting. Occasionally, I stay home for a month to deal with business at home and see family. We stay on the phone his entire drive shift. Trucking is a hard life, but it is so necessary and important!

I drove 500,000 miles over the past 5 years as a OTR driver, the only accurate thing is the hometime, you're only home 3-4 days every 6 weeks. When you're 1 year into your trucking career, you have a pretty solid idea what the sacrifices are. You NEVER forget what time zone you're in, you work literally every imaginable shift hours, and you don't call it, "once I finish this job", it's more of a time frame, like 4-5 weeks on the road, than you earn a max of 3 days, 2 nights home, then back out for another 5-6 weeks. It's really a thankless job, yet it whats makes this country survive, yet all the "4 wheelers"( aka cars) is the WORST past of this job, because you all are complete A$$holes to us truckers while driving, because for some reason, you all treat us like garbage while you drive wrecklessly around us, because you all think that your time is far more valuable than ours

[@Israel_alive_forever]

Because that’s what most of the truck drivers are: garbage. People don’t drive that reckless because they’re trying to harm you truck driver, that’s because they’re idiots. But as I said most of the truck drivers are garbage people: lazy, selfish, stupid. You guys have chosen to stir a stirring wheel and watch KZbin, eat garbage food and all you can talk about is “dam, I stock at the fuel island” or “man, I almost got late for delivery!”. That’s it. I understand that without truck drivers all the economy will stop. But you do this job not to help economy in any way but because that’s the only thing you can do to make your small money. There’s no way to say “oh but if everybody will quit trucking, then, THEN…!” Of course everybody will not quit trucking, because those garbage people who only can drive a truck for living will never end 😊

Save some money the next year or so, then find a trade to get into- HVAC, electrician, whatever. Start as a grunt and try your best to learn on the job.. or just go to trade school.

He is also home every week to be part of everyone’s life normally leaving Monday and coming back on a Thursday or Friday still respecting him for what he does after so long and be able to give out loads for a few other truckers leaving him able to get some additional money and be home a little more.

as an over the road truck driver myself, this is exactly what we face today. I do enjoy driving and visiting new places I never been. It's also a way to relief myself from a mental breakdown and took me out of debt. Its not easy especially being alone and missing important dates like birthdays and holidays. Relationships will be tested while being out on the road. I had mine tested back in Feb 2018 where my EX cheated on me cause I wasn't home enough. It was a rocky month even giving up 40% of my salary to help her with college expenses. I went to a downward spiral but recovered. In conclusion, Truck driver is good if u want to explore new areas and have low to no relationships. I'll be tweeting this to Muthatrucka news.

[@chickenpermission]

I LOVE this representation. It's actually a bit more brutal and hazing is incredible, but you got it on point with the talk, lingo and context. The sacrifice, the betrayal, the long hours. Spot on. I appreciate it. Thank you. I also found it funny how the driver switched from a long-nose to a modern truck. Editing is magical. I saw a lot of respect in this video for truckers too, and let me tell you, we appreciate all we can get.

[@More_Row]

Hazing is incredible ? Can you explain what you mean by this and are you talking about American trucking?

[@chickenpermission]

@@More_Row Yes, American Trucking. Hazing is absolutely horrific - what I meant by incredible. If you're a company driver, you're automatically considered a piece of feces. However the color and texture of you as a piece of feces varies depending on companies you drive for. For example, Knight-Swift (previously Swift) is considered actual excrement. However companies like Yellow are considered golden layered and least smelling. UPS and Fedex are in the middle for having some of the worst winter drivers, but hardest working. If you're an Owner Op, then you're considered a real trucker but still given crap depending on what and how you do. Company driver? Good luck. I drove for many companies in my ten years and always struggled alone. Maybe a few instances of a brotherhood, but that brotherhood is fake and only reserved for "real truckers". After ten years I finally got off the road. Traffic being too much as it was because normal four-wheeler drivers were crazier than before and truckers were getting just as crazy.

[@More_Row]

Damn, thanks for expanding. And humans really suck huh. No community between drivers, only hating on the " not real" truckers and newcomers. What a shame. It's probably only gotten worse in newer times . @@chickenpermission

[@chickenpermission]

@@More_Row It really has. I never went Owner Op, wish I did, but never had the resources to. Don't get me wrong, there is an extremely strong trucking culture still there. But the disrespect between Owner Ops and Companies stems mainly from the deregulation under President Reagan in the 80's. Since that time and the rise of trucking companies, a giant rift has expanded that separates the two. I only a few times got to see real trucking, in winter mainly. When things get hard and tough you'll fall in line, form a convoy, get through the blizzard or follow a fellow driver around an accident on a backroad bypass. But those were few and far between. You learned to appreciate the memories there and it helped you move forward.

I recommend to find happiness in every single chance you can get. as a person who works 9 to 5, and does overnights just keep your head up king and don’t forget to take care of your health and yourself. Only you can make a difference in your life , it’s up to you Also, don’t get discouraged to quit your job. Just make sure you have a job that already hired you before you quit. Also please for the love of everything good. Spend time with family.

Especially when you consider all the extra bs that comes with OTR. Also, the whole “get to see the country” thing is mostly bs. Whatever you can see from your windshield is what you get.

I've had socially anxiety for most of my life. I'm a loner, but I've never felt lonely when I'm alone. Truck driving, like any other job, has it's pros and cons. But I'd rather be doing this than any other form of work. I did ten years in the military and although I'm proud to have served my country, being there made me realize how much I prefer to work by myself. They talk about robots replacing us truckers and I hope that never happens, especially during my lifetime. I guess I could work somewhere else that doesn't require much socializing, but it wouldn't compare to the joy of seeing a new place every day, listening to podcasts and audiobooks while driving, and having my own moving office. Anybody can be a trucker, but it's not for everybody. Thank you for reading this, peace and blessings, have a Prosperous day

American roads are, on average, waaaaay too poorly maintained to replace drivers with AI.

[@aidengkholmes3]

I don't know how it works in the U.S., here in Italy every truck driver has a card that records driving hours and miles driven. Well, they are often forced to keep a magnet on the part of the truck that records trips so that it is always stationary, and they often have to use the cards of off-duty colleagues to double the mileage done and make more money for the company. The only advantage is that if you have your own company you make a lot of money, but if you are an employed truck driver, you will be exploited like a slave for little money. My uncle has been a truck driver for almost 40 years now, one of the things he told me is "never work as a trucker."
