This is true but also very difficult to get your body in to this state for long periods of time.
Does trucking really ruin your life at home?

Try losing everything you have, then driving a truck to 46 states for up to 3 weeks at a time for less money than you made in college and having 14 hours a day to think about all of it. Clinical depression is a very real thing among OTR drivers. I did enjoy some of the weekend trips across CO and NM, didn't say it was all bad.
I have been out of the truck for 6 weeks, do you know what it feels like to be able to go to the grocery store on a Wed night and take food back home? I am still getting used to it.
today: wake up at 6AM in my new house, have coffee, walk into my clean tile shower.
a real man showers at TAs, right?Last edited: Jul 3, 2017

Trust me " driving truck " hurts your life. Not just the loss of close friends and family you suffer as an over the road driver. Just driving truck drains the mind because you are always thinking. Encountering traffic and all the battles that presents damage your attitude and love of people. Truck driving is a poison that you think you can handle. In the end your body dies from a life of sitting and fighting all the factors on the highways. You mind will always drift because you,be lived a life of road travel. And the worst thing is you gained no additional skills so when it's time to get away from trucks you can,t.

@spyder7723 ‘s right.
Loyalty has to count for something, and if that doesn’t exist a relationship has no foundation. -
