My dad's a trucker too (drives super-B's, been everywhere in Canada and the states except PEI, Nunavut and Florida). I get annoyed when people talk trash about truckers, especially in regards to wide turns and low speeds. That's not being an ass, it's being safe.

And really, pretty much anything you use was hauled by a truck. Have some appreciation.

Youre not your own boss, your dispatcher who tells you where to go, what to pick up and where to take it isn't even your boss. And you don't get paid to be a tourist. I'm not even to start about how you're away from your family 90% of the time.

You must not have tarped a load yourself at that temperature, my dad was doing that and got frostbite so bad his hands were black. Tarping in the snow also caused him to slip off the load and fall head first, hitting his shoulder on the deck. A few centimetres over and he would have split his skull.

Sure you are ;)

Hah! Same here, when my dad comes home mom always does the driving; "the damn thing's too small!" is his usual reason
