I think people are completely delusional when it comes to driving a truck.
I always found the idea intriguing for some reason since I was a kid.
The problem is you have to drive an 80,000 pound death machine in all manners of congestion and bad weather.
If you look on a trucker forum you will see that people basically say you are going to be shitting your pants for the first year or two from the crazy situations you find yourself in.
It is super easy to say these things when you work in an office/remote and will never have to actually be in these situations.
