no dear...I'm not just throwing it out there, I'm trying to make the best informed dessision that I can. I do like to drive and dont mind long hours in a seat, but then again I might not like the loneliness that might come with the job. Just trying to figure what would be the best for me...0 kids...0 g/f and or wife...so...it's just one of those things I'm looking at.

Loneliness is something that many drivers have difficulty coping. Having a cell phone can help. Many communicate using email. There is usually someone on the CB or if you are taking some time at a truck stop there is usually someone who is anxious to sit down and have a conversation. I think this profession works better for those who like to be by themselves. I do some of my best thinking when I am driving. If drivers can make it past the first 6 months to a year they have a good opportunity to make this work as a career.
