    My job is by no means easy, but I love driving a truck for a living. I run a dedicated run so I know where I am going and when I'll be home every trip. I deal with lots of weather and traffic, but it pays really well.

    The biggest thing is stopping distance. If more drivers knew the distance a truck took to stop I would hope they would stop cutting us off like that. Of course some are just so stupid they wont learn until someone gets hurt.

    Kinda off topic but what is your most hated city for traffic conditions?

    Personally Baltimore tops that list. Somehow there seem to be more cases of attempted suicide there.
