Didn't know how lonely this job could get sometimes, makes me wonder why I thought driving a truck across the country was a good idea

It's not for everyone, but I do love those long trips. Don't think I would have it any other way honestly

i would enjoy it while it lasts, I suspect in some near or distant future most of our delivery systems will become automated

Any job can be lonely, it's up to use to find ways to connect with others either on the job or outside in our personal lives.

It's a good idea for some, particularly those who enjoy quiet moments and peaceful drives. I quit being a truck driver a few years ago, but it was mostly for higher pay not because I didn't enjoy it

I don't mind it tbh long drives are great for reflecting and enjoying some quiet time with a podcast or audiobook.

It can get lonely out on the open road, but it's worth it to see all the beautiful sights. I love the freedom of driving and being able to go wherever I want. Sure, there are times when I wish I had someone to talk to, but that's what music is for.

It can be lonely at times, but it's a great job. I love seeing the country and meeting new people. I also love the freedom of being on the road and seeing new places.

It's worth it to see all the different places and people. I love meeting new people and seeing new places, and that's why I love trucking. Sure, there are times when it can get a little lonesome, but that's just part of the job. At the end of the day, I'm happy I chose this career.
