Watch any movie or listen to any conversation and truck drivers are present as unskilled, uneducated, uncouth, often overweight, country/redneck, dirty, foul mouth, and aggressive. People see them as womanizers and as doing something anyone can do.
But that isn’t true. Many have degrees and other education. There are numerous Veterans who are now truck drivers. Truck drivers come from all walks of life, the country, the city, male and female!
They represent every race that lives in America and are truly an excellent representation of this great nation.
Furthermore, it takes a lot of skill to drive a big truck and to maneuver them into some places customers call loading docks.
Not to mention dealing with the weather (especially driving in winter) and other drivers. Let’s not forget understanding all the federal, state and local regulations.
It is funny that there is such a negative stereotype on one side when so many respect truckers! Often people say that truckers are some of the best people. They are quick to assist, friendly; there are some highly experienced truck drivers that have a lot worldly knowledge you can’t get from a book!
