My grandfather was a truck driver for over 40 years. He worked for a few different companies at during his lifetime but his last was for the US postal service. He said that was the life for a truck driver. He over drove twice a week (to and from Dallas, TX x2). I think it's really hard to get a job with them as a truck driver from what I remember.
Anyways, I love the truck driver culture. Before my grandfather worked for USPS, I would go with him on trips and we would go to these truck stops that were more like diners. I'm not sure if a lot of those exist anymore but the waitress would always remember my grandfather and he would just say, "my usual". Fond memories.
