Trucker Researcher

no it's not! just turn off the radio, or the phone as the case may be.

 

It takes a very special person to Love a Truck driver.

 

You really want to learn about truck drivers go live in there world for 30 day's Danny

 

What you are doing sounds good. I hope you accomplish your goal and I would like to see you use your findings to educate the law makers and officials in the driving industry. Maybe with your findings they can stop wasting money on useless research and put the money into improving the industry based on your findings.

Good Luck

 

Interested

I am interested in the goal of your research. Is it to expose the lifestyle of the truck driver or expose the short falls of the industry. I have two sides to my story. The driver side and the management side. Both have to work together to make this job a success and I believe this is the cause of the black side of trucking. I'd be glad to give my contribution but I don't want to give you the same old story.

 

Winter is an adventure different from any other season. Some company's will not hire truckers unless they have winter driving experience. Being from Colorado you would know a little bit about snow and ice. It would be a injustice to your work not to include that as part of your study.

 

I started in the winter and the snow is scaring me. Not because of my driving, but because this time around I can see all the new drivers that live in FL and such that are going to be driving in this weather for the first time, without a trainer or anyone to guide them. It'd take both hands to count the number of new drivers I've helped with their backing, tarping, etc in the past month. Not even familiar with a truck and getting thrown into the worst conditions.
