The long haul - OTR truck driving

Please visit my website: http://www.drive-safely.net

A simple video, with simple facts about the over the road (OTR) truck driver. The truck driver is an integral part of society and the American economy, endures working conditions most Americans would never put up with, yet are often overlooked and stereotyped in negative ways. So next time you see a trucker, give him or her a friendly smile and a wave (using all fingers).

This series is definitely excellent. It's really amazing how you captured the reality of trucking. Despite it's random little quirks, I think it would be fun to work out on the road.

@pdlsteeler1 It's a very tough lifestyle, but we have our fun as well. We live in one big beautiful country and I'd never give back the time I've spent on the road. Thanks for watching!

Nice vid I wanna drive, cause I get to be by myself all the time, which I don't really mind. And I love driving.
