A Trucker's Life Is Not For Everyone

For sure, America is a free country, and to a certain degree, people have the freedom to pursue what makes them happy. Everyone is free to do as he likes, that is, as long as he does not intrude on the rights of other people, and stays within the boundaries of the law. Now if that means driving a cool, expensive Porsche—fast but under the speed limit of course—down the freeway, then so be it.

There is, however, a big difference between driving luxury cars and driving huge trucks. For one thing, trucks must always have a reason to be on the road, whether it's to transport goods, materials, or equipment. If a car gets into a minor accident, it would usually just be an inconvenience; but if a truck gets into any accident, big or small, it could cost thousands of dollars in lost time, merchandise, and profit.

Trucks are not only set apart because of their purpose. It also takes special skills and adequate experience to handle these big machines. Thus, it's important that a competent truck driver is always behind the wheel. Aside from this, it should also be licensed, and have the proper permits and certificates in accordance with its purpose.

Trucking is a business, an economic necessity, and a way of life. It's an endeavor that should be taken seriously.
