Good Points about Driving a Truck

As promised, here is a list of "Good Things" about driving a truck.

1. Nobody is looking over your shoulder all the time checking out everything you do. You have the freedom to plan your trips and schedule to your wishes as long as you deliver on time.
2. Even though there is some manual labor to unloading the trucks at times the job is quite easy. 98% of the job is just driving. The rest of it is dropping, hooking trailers and of course a little bit of paperwork.
3. You get to see your continent, which includes your country, Canada, and Mexico. I have seen so many places that I otherwise might have never been to if I had not driven a truck.
4. You get the heartbeat of America. You get to see "the other side of life", what people live like in other sections of the US, Canada, and Mexico.
5. If you really want, you can take your fishing pole along with you and stop at a creek or river and go fishing along the way.
6. If you team drive with a friend or your spouse, you can make more money and have someone along to share the experience.
7. Songs like "I love a rainy night", and "On the road again" have a lot more meaning to them if you drive a truck.
8. Vacation means staying at home since you have already traveled the continent all year long and need some "time at home".
9. You can have all the comforts of home with a nice sleeper cab. You can add a DVD/VCR/TV and carry along your laptop with a broadband card for those times when loads slow down and you have time to enjoy the amenities.
10. Cell phones make it easy today to stay in touch with your loved ones. If you get a nationwide plan with shared minutes you can call your loved ones for free any time of the day. They are only a phone call away.
