All kidding aside, one can get pretty isolated on the road. Cell phones help us keep connected to friends and family. A good headset is a must. In most truck stop diners it is not hard to find someone to shoot the bull with for a while. But loneliness is just a part of the job. After a while you will learn how to combat it.

This job is better suited for people that tend to be loners. But other folk mitigate the loneliness by having a pet or keeping in touch with family and friends on the phone.
