Sometimes they are the first ones to call for help when there’s an accident. But, movies and other pop-culture references have made the trucker out to be some kind of psycho.
3. Truck drivers are nasty smelly pigs
Again, yes there are those who don’t practice proper hygiene as they should. But truckers are like everyone else, they don’t want to be all smelly and nasty.
They bath, take showers while on the road and do laundry, just like anyone else. They stay sharp on the road and care about their health.
Most of them keep their cabs tidy, and the truck mattresses are free from bedbugs. After all most truck stops offer showers and laundry facilities and there are many other trucker amenities, it isn’t like it was twenty years ago.
Heck, now the trucks can have bathrooms in them!
4. Truck drivers are unsafe and cause the most accidents
This one gets old. It stems from a few things. People not being educated on the industry, movies, and the speed craze back in the 70’s. Yes, there was a time when drivers would drive as much as they could and do whatever it took to keep that truck moving. I am sure some still do.
