A person can spend an hour on YouTube and like the Matrix they know it all! Of course it really doesn’t work that way and thus there are some silly, if not insulting myths about the actual truck drivers themselves.
1. The trucking industry is not important
Really??? Not important did they say, well huh! Do they ever stop to wonder how they get the stuff they buy? The car they drive? What about the materials used to build the roads, homes, and other buildings?
Most people just assume it arrives a la Santa and poof the shelves are stocked. Actually the trucking industry is the lifeblood of our society, without it, we would cease.
2. All truck drivers are crazy maniacs
Ok, yes there are a few bad apples, but when your numbers are in the millions some oddballs will make an appearance. The vast majority of truckers are good people. They are just doing a job the same as any other hard working person.
