So You're Thinking About Becoming a Truck Driver?
As we’ve said so many times on this site, if you’ve got a long attention span, a tolerance for a demanding schedule, a driver’s license and a love of life on the road, trucking can be the perfect job for you. Nearly half of all Americans know someone who works in the trucking industry, so odds are you already have a professional contact!
Long-term driving can involve from 2-4 weeks away from home on the road, which can be hard on a family—but for a born nomad, it’s a match made in heaven. You spend a lot of time alone—so introverts have an advantage—but truck stops are open 24/7 and there will always be colleagues on the road to talk to!
