Is being a truck driver as awesome as it sounds or am I being falsely led on and it's all just a meme?
>long hours but always on the road
>get to keep to yourself
>always traveling and seeing new places
>don't have to talk to anyone
>minimal living expenses because you're always driving

I refuse to believe there's a job out there with only positives like this but it seems like a perfect robot career path.

It can be a very physical job loading and unloading heavy cargo, depending on who you work for. I'm pretty sure drivers are tracked by GPS so they are pretty strict on schedules. Some places are really hard to drive with a truck, too. Filling the big gas tanks at stations is apparently really hard for example, maneuvering in small lots. They're super strict on drug testing as well as drinking so say goodbye to beer and liquor while you're in the truck if you want to keep your license, even if it's not running and you're just sitting in back. These days they even have such high standards that drivers can lose their commercial license for something as minor as having high blood pressure.

Get an ice cooler and stock up on shit at Walmart, truck stop food is OK but waste of money. With one or two years experience just look for other companies then you make like 1k a week . Read directions from your phone and buy the thing that lets you stick it to something.

depends on if your like work for a company or do it by yourself.
doing it for a company COULD mean you see often the same places but if you find a company with different tours i think you could have a nice time since you only have to drive the rest does your co-worker.
If you do it all by yourself you don't only have to drive but do the paper works too which is sometimes maybe not so easy and talking to other greedy companies is also not nice often.

Same guy, These companies send you a greyhound ticket then put you in a hotel or motel, with roommates. Breakfast is free you have to pay for your other stuff. Most people wouldn't recommend going solo without experience but when ur ready you could lease or something
