Life beyond trucking

user-gravatar Headshot

Trucking moves America, but some of the drivers out there are moved by things other than trucking. It’s not unusual to meet a trucker who has other interests, and even other jobs they do to break the monotony of the road.

I’ve met college professors, nurses, paramedics, firefighters and accountants who are also truckers. The public image of uneducated steering wheel holders who can’t do anything else could not be further from the truth. There are some highly educated and extremely talented people driving trucks, and they all have their own reasons for doing so.
