    I told my wife the same thing trucking has changed even from 2004-18 so bad that skinny jeans wearing and slubs who dump piss out their passengers window only apply. I used to have fun but now it's all about taking money from the drivers.

    So far, all the driverless trucks still have a person in the drivers seat. There seems to be a problem with the english language being unable to describe a truck or car that is computer operated with a driver on board......wait, I just did it. It cant be that hard for google or others to describe the situation accurately, or am I smarter than the google collective? Doubtful.

    We wont see driverless trucks for many more years....since we havent seen one yet!

    Too much stupid on the road for driverless trucks. Everything else has to go driverless before it will work.

    Fully autonomous vehicles are a myth, and none exist yet.

    If you're laying awake nights worried about them, I strongly suggest you find another career such as VCR or rotary phone repair.

    Drive log truck like me. When I see an autonomous log truck way back in the woods on bulldozed out dirt roads I'll feel threatened that I may lose my job
