This is not meant to be mean or offend the general public.

I have been a semi driver now for over 9 years.I have been around the profession longer.So experience I have.
It is true we see our great wonderful United States.
The job,however comes with a high price to our families.
Our profession,is similar in some ways to our wonderful military personal.We all spend a great amount of time away from the people we love and care about to serve our country.

Someone asked me recently "Why do you drive a semi and be gone from your family?"
The answer to the question I had was "It's how I choose to serve the wonderful people that live and work in our grand country."

I can't speak for the other drivers we have in the USA,only for myself.To some it maybe just another load of produce,can goods,paper products,car parts,etc etc.I realize how many individual citizens my 1 shipment of fresh produce affects in their daily lives.I take great pride in doing the job as best I can.
We often get blamed for accidents with 4 wheeled vehicles.In truth we prevent 1,000 more by our alertness and professionalism.

I am not saying our profession is without individuals that might be better suited in another line of work.That is in all professions if you look hard enough.

We have heart,we have strong character,caring devotion to the ones we love.And even to those we dont know. We make sure citizens of this country have the merchandise they need for their daily lives,everyday of the year.
We have no holidays.We roll our rigs on the roads 365 days.

Most individuals do appreciate what type of job we do.Most just dont understand our passion for the road.Its the same passion we have in our lives.

So in closing,please you see us out on the roads everyday,bear in mind what we have in our trailers you might be purchasing at the store.And you would be surprised how much we also appreciate a Thank You every now and again for doing what we do.Safely,responsibly,with caring and devotion.
And please give us braking space in front.And dont follow too closely.Our tires get very warm,and tread pulls apart,its dangerous to your family.Last thing any driver in the country wants is someone hurt from something off of their rig.

Enjoy your life everyday and above all else smile.You just might brighten someone else's bad day.

 We appreciate the gesture,but please don't use your brights.I blinds us in our mirrors.We know motorists mean well.However,some of the new headlights are extremely bright on dim.It's better to kick your lights off just for a second then back on.That is very appreciated.

 That was very well said. I've always had an appreciation for semi drivers especially during bad weather. With that in mind I always flash my brights so a semi driver knows it ok to merge and and give them plenty of space on all sides. Hope your work is going well.

Thank you,in some ways,yes,some no.At least with us,we can get to see our families more.Unlike the military,we dont do tours of duty for months at a time. But the passion for the career is very similar.Kisses/Hugs.

 wonderful post about the trucking industry. May all those drivers of smaller vehicles slow down and let a truck merge or move over to let them on the freeway. The loads are big and dont stop easy. Those little gestures help.

Thank you. Thought it might help those who dont understand why we do what we do.Be seeing you soon.{=}

 Awl thanks for such a delightful insight on your job. And please know that a few of us truly appreciate you and all the others out there busting their ass to serve us. We truly know your job is hard and frustrating at times and we want to thank you for taking time away from your families to to serve us spoiled ass people! So keep it between the ditches, keep the shiny side up and the dirty side down. So that one day our paths will cross and we will meet face to face, and give you the hu8g you deserve!
