What is the life of a trucker?

Answer 1

Many folks have the impression that the life of a trucker is very carefree and easy. To the contrary, a trucker's life on the road, can be very stressful.

Heavy traffic, bad drivers, weather, time schedules, regulations, personal health and stressors, all contribute to the on-the-job-stressors that a trucker faces, day to day.

Answer 2

The life of a trucker involves long hours on the road, often away from family and friends for extended periods of time. It can be physically demanding, requiring long stretches of sitting and irregular sleep patterns. However, it can also offer independence, the opportunity to see different parts of the country, and potentially a good income.
