    With everyone hating truck drivers and banning you from even parking your rig at home, why do we put up with this anymore?

    I'm Day Cabbing now so park the truck at the terminal. I'm lucky to live just 15 minutes away.

    Touch Freight though so feel like I traded for a different mess.

    All I’ve done since 2000.
    People just hate truck drivers now, granted a lotus brought to the caliber of driver now, with shower shoes and cut off shorts.
    They thought they needed truckers during covid, but we all knew they’d come back to shoving you to the ground when they didn’t need you any longer.

    Why do we do it? Mostly because we want to.

    Been doing it, since 1987. I can’t secure equal income doing anything else. I don’t like people on my back or in my space. Let’s roll!

    Why do they put up with shippers/receivers wasting their day? or being treated like trash? Talked to like idiots?

    Cause they've been taught it.

    They’d hit you with the paddle too, some had holes drilled in to make it more “aerodynamic”
    in turn it left welps.
