Worst Parts:


Loneliness


Spending long hours on the road can be a lonely experience, especially for those who are away from family and friends for extended periods of time.


Health risks


Truck drivers are at higher risk for health issues like obesity, heart disease, and sleep disorders due to the sedentary nature of the job and the long hours spent sitting.


Safety concerns


Truck driving can be a dangerous job, with risks including accidents, theft, and violence.


Time away from home


Many truck drivers spend weeks or even months away from home, which can be challenging for those with families or other commitments.


Regulations and paperwork
