Good, because truck driver are some if the worst people I know. I'd much rather people picture me as literally anything else. 🤣

I really don't fit in with my "peers"

One think I like to say is that if I got a reward that says "worlds smartest truck driver" I'd probably just toss it in my closet because it's practically meaningless.

do you see your fellow truckers much?

also, do you think self-driving trucks will be a thing any time soon?

I see other truck drivers in the morning when I get to the terminal. I'm local, so I'm home everyday. As far as the self driving thing goes, when I started driving all of the news said thst my job would be obsolete in 7 years. That was 14 years ago now.

While I do think self driving will happen eventually, I'm not worried about it. I live my life as if I could lose my job. My wife and I can manage on either one of our incomes for a time if we have to.

I'm not sure anything is going to come from it, but she's still looking and she hasn't gotten laid off yet, so we will just stay the course.
