Thanks. It's not especially long, you just drive one day at a time and go to sleep at night. And then you drive one day at a time to the next stop.

You're either sitting in a chair behind a desk all day long, or sitting in a chair behind a steering wheel all day long.

Fair enough. Have you been doing this for long? I always wondered if it’s a lonely job.

I'm just finishing my third year. It can be lonely for some. But there's phone and email until you get home.

I like the solitude, and I have never felt lonely. I'm probably an outlier.

Glad to hear! Safe travels and enjoy the drive!
