    I totally spaced your question sorry man! I feel like trucking would be a good career for me because I've always been sort of a free spirit. Being alone has never really bothered me. And the adventure would be amazing. Just looking at 18 wheelers on my way to work excites me. Maybe that's not enough to enjoy it but I feel like I would.

    I enjoy my own company.
    If automated trucks become a thing a lot of antisocial people are going to have to reintegrate into society.:)

    What is considered a pro by some is considered a con by others. The key to having a "good life" in trucking is finding the right trucking segment in the beginning, then keeping yourself in a good position to make a change when/if the time comes. (develop a good work history, learn good clock management, get good at driving a truck, don't hit things, don't get tickets, be dependable in your circle of associates, don't run from challenges)
