 What is your concern with truck drivers? 

Truck drivers are well paid and there is a massive shortage of truck drivers currently, so there is good job security. It is a tough profession because you spend time on the road away from family. I respect anyone who takes on a hard job to pay the bills and feed their family. You should too.
