A busload of people will spend a lot more $$$ than a couple truckdrivers.

Good for you. Not everyone has the same experience.

Trucker stopped at Bucee's doors even after parking elsewhere

If you consider being away from your home, family and friends for weeks at a time to be "easy" then you can speak for yourself.

If you consider your every move monitored and logged by at least 2 gov't agencies at all times to be easy, then speak for yourself.

If you consider every minute of your day being mandatory logged for the gov't and missing even 1 minute can result in steep fines and OOS violations, then you can speak for yourself.

I consider a job that I sleep in my own bed, eat home cooked food and see my friends and family daily to be easy. Not this ####. This #### sucks. With inflation and low pay, I was making 12,500 dollars a year more my first year of truck driving under Trump than my 8th year under Trump 2.0. By far my best year was 2020. Lowest expenses with gas at 1.50 a gallon and highest pay that year that I ever made. Its actually gone down every year since 2020. (With inflation factored in)

Physically, yea driving isn't a difficult job once you get good. But its the CONDITIONS you must work under. Extreme stress from 4 wheelers acting like idiots all the time wanting you to hit them so you can be sued, having to drive in horrendous weather, on terrible roads, at any time during the 24 hour day with no place to park.....THAT'S what makes it difficult.

I’m go into Bucees quite a bit wearing my company hat that says trucking on it and not one time have they ever said anything to me about getting out of there…

That’s usually how business works

Somehow I knew it was about that place. I wandered in there once one night on accident and the parking lot was not very nice I remember. Nobody that owns an independent joint seems to take any pride anyway. At least TA will probably pave the lot like they did at the joint in Rhode Island. (I actually still like that place...)
