Only stress I have is dealing with stupid traffic trucks included.. lots of stupid people driving.... getting a load delivered on time, never stress, if I can't make it then I can't and the company needs to solve the problem, better load plannin or something... I can only drive so far and long per day or DOT gets mad...I don't stress much about anything but the traffic, tryinng to keep away from them stupid drivers hehehehehe, runnin a reefer, I started with them and its no more stress than driving a van, if it breaks, well the company needs to solve the problem, no stress to me, I am just a driver, with going all 48 states is no different than going local, buildings all look the same, the roads are all the same, got lines painted on them and all the stop signs look the same... so staying close to home might be more stressful to some people, I like to get out and drive, thats what truck drivers do is drive.... so really its not as stressful to some as others, I wanted to drive, I like the challenges and if that is too stressful to start with then why start at all, its a job and you need to be prepared for it, now or later is the same, you will have to do it one way or another, just jump in and go for it, the only stress you will have is what you create, I try not to worry about nuttin, why stress out, I don't need it so I put it back on the company, let them stress at there desk job trying to get someone to fix your trailer or get the load on another truck to keep it movin, I have my job to do and thats driving a truck.. Just learn all you can and have confidence that you can do it and you should be okay no matter what you drive or who you drive for....
