Is this a good loner job?

It's a very good job for one who enjoys solitude. The best runs are the long haul, coast-to-coast. The only times you must deal with large groups of people are in truck stops. Sure, in trucking school you will have classmates in the classroom and in the training truck. After that, go with solo driving with a flatbed or tanker company, then you won't have to deal with grocery warehouses full of people jabbering away as if they're in a home for dementia patients.

That's a good one!

You will always have to deal with people in some manner. But it definitely sounds like you don't want a whole lot of it.

My point is, no matter what side shoot job in trucking, you will always deal with idiots, or moron bosses, or dumb-### co-workers. Dispatch, especially in the oil patch can be VERY frustrating. That's my experience but I have also heard the same about dispatch in freight too.

Just have good tunes, or satellite radio and you can generally disregard the outside world. As well make sure your A/C works. Being able to roll up the windows and shut out the world, and noise will help too.

Also, drive SOLO, not with a team driver.
