Default Who on here LOVES their job?

I know some people regret ever getting into truckdriving, but I think (HOPE) that they're a loud minority vs. a silent majority of people who enjoy truckdriving, be it long haul or local.

Who all likes their job as truckdrivers and who do you work for, etc?

I myself just drive a street sweeper around town; doesn't really count as trucking.

I have ran into nurses, seceratarys, toolmakers, doctors, machinists, ironworkers, accountants, flight attendants,construction workers and shelf stockers in retail stores who regret getting into thier career field.

The "loud minority vs silent majority" who enjoy thier line of work can be applied to ALL career fields.

I dont like it, nor do I love it. Its just a job. Driving for a living is something that I've done all my life so I'm used to the grind.

I still enjoy it. Unless you like this business you won't stick around for very long.

Are you asking if we like our job or our profession?

Unfortunately I was born poor and have to work. I'm 52 years old and this I like this job better than any others. No one breathing down my neck, watching my every move, telling me I did something wrong, different every day, get to see a lot of beautiful scenery, no big time pressure to get things done in a hurry.

If I have to work, this is the profession I love!!
