Long haul truck drivers, do you enjoy your job?

I like the pay better than my old job as a cab driver. What I don't like is that I have to spend more hours, or even days, away from home. Wish I can bring my dog along for a ride.

I love it. I love seeing new places, and trying new restaurants. Sometimes traffic annoys me but it comes with the job. I just listen to my music, audiobooks, or podcasts and it keeps me busy!

Some of the long-haul truck drivers I know really do enjoy their job. They said visiting new places is the best perk.

Yes, I do. I get to travel to new places. The pay is not that great but I am single and financially stable so I guess it's okay.

About 3 seconds after I shared the Director said “I think you’re sharing your to do list” and I immediately closed it. I have to assume they saw everything. What do I do?
