Conclusion
If the truth is to be told, most anyone can get a CDL and drive a commercial truck, but not all of them are professional truck drivers and know how to live a life on the road.
They will never understand that there is more to the position than just operating a truck. They won’t understand that driving a truck on the open roads is a unique lifestyle!
There is a lot to driving. It takes practice, and an actual skill to maneuver a truck into some of those tight loading bays. But it is also about how one conducts him/herself.
Not every doctor is a true professional. Nor is every actor, news anchor, delivery person. The title doesn’t make you a professional, you must be a professional.
You might be thinking, “Well this is just silly”. Not that long ago you would have been right, but we live in a customer oriented society now.
And with social media, YouTube, and a host of other communication resources (that didn’t exist a decade or so ago) image is everything.
If you fail to act appropriately it will be shared a million times before you reach your next truck stop!
