What's the good, bad and ugly sides of trucking?

Window was closed. Window shattered and my arm got pinned between my body and the door. I had a cooler on the passenger seat that I normally strapped in with the seat belt. I had been lazy that day in not strapping it in. The cooler fell, hit my head, then lodged between my body and the steering wheel. It prevented me from being able to lift myself away from the door sliding along the ground.

 

Wow.......

 

The Good • ….
The Bad • Traffic. Getting stuck at shopper/reciever all day half the night. Finally get unloaded around midnight. Gotta go find find somewhere to park. being cut off by everyone then brake checked for no reason. Anything imaginable.

The Ugly •
Being stuck away from family for 2-3-4-6 months. Get a few days home, then bring 2-4 days late on time off after having it in for months. Then be home a day and they call, “we really need you to go back out. Freight picked up”
What they mean is they need X amount of drivers on the road to keep the big contracts, freight still slow.
