Driving truck is a hard job, especially nowadays, with every motion recorded by the truck's computers, strict rules about breaks combined with regulations on drive time, and the constant need to support the company's bottom line; employees cost a lot of money, if you can get 10 stops done in 10 hours, why not 12?
Truckers still get paid well, but the job still sucks. It's a dying trade and most of the workforce is over 45. I feel bad for 'em, pissin in bottles like Amazon employees.
I'm not a trucker myself but I've met more than a few, never met one I didn't like.
