Was this an excerpt from some documentary or other? If only more people could see it!

You wanna know what fucking truck driving is, then document and focus on backing. Docking the trailer is 90% of trucking, you only do it 20-30% of the time but your entire skills is 90% backing. This trucker says you don't get rich? Bull shit, that's prolly cuz he's got 5-12 kids, or he simply can't save his money.

of course you don't do it for the money, you do it cause its what you want to do. And actually most ppl do do it because of money.

if you drive in the UK, thanks for helping ruin the british tuck industry.

In the words of one of the greatest country singers, "you been reading my mail" you speek the truth man cudos to ya.

Nice to see someone speek the truth . From a Tucker Cousin across the pond

One things for sure bud it aint gonna get easier.

I'm a UK truckie Of 20 years, theres a lot of similarites between UK and US Truckers Mostley the Lack of Money For the Hours worked and the lack of respect from you boss, no matter how hard ya try n show him how good ya are or how much ya keep going.

in the UK, we have the added bonus of the goverment trying to close the British tucking industry down, so we will all be looking for new work.

if its not in ya blood you wont last. But good luck.
