Moreover, truck drivers are facing on a daily basis with traffic, accidents, getting fuel and many other things in between. All these things coupled together can bring a lot of stress to truckers.
So, let’s see what the bad side of the trucking industry includes:
Stress and Health
Patience is the crucial characteristic that a truck driver should possess in order to stay healthy and successful in the trucking industry.
Thereupon, on a daily basis truck drivers are facing with:
- Delays;
- Deadlines;
- Lazy shippers;
- City traffic;
- Bad weather;
- Lack of parking spaces;
- Living in a very small space- truck cab;
All these things make stress to be an inevitable factor in truck drivers’ lives.
On the other hand, straight proportionally with the stress that truck drivers are experiencing on a daily basis comes the bad health conditions.
By the same token, truck drivers spend weeks and months driving behind the wheel- which means that they are not moving a lot and are not exercising. Also the lifestyle that truck drivers are leading brings them unhealthy food habits.
