What is a Trucker? Truckers are found on highways, in truckstops, in service bays, on loading docks, on bush roads at fuel stops and often they are the first at the scene of an accident.Their wives/husbands help them. Little boys follow them. Relatives don’t understand them. Meals must wait for them. Weather can delay them. But nothing can stop them. A trucker is a paradox. He/She is a blue-jeaned executive with his office in the cab. He/She is a scientist who hauls dangerous chemicals and explosives, a purchasing agent in a baseball cap, a personnel director with grease under his/her fingernails, a poor eater with fondness for burgers and fries, a student of geography and a weather watcher. He/She likes sunshine, children, smooth pavement, good traction, clean loads, dinner at home, weekends with his family, an unbuttoned shirt collar and country music. And there is a special place in his/her heart for his rig. Hes/Shes not fond of city traffic, tourists who are rotten drivers, fuel prices, dispatchers, snarly receivers, kids in high powered cars and least of all drunk drivers. Nobody else gets as much satisfaction out of talking about trucks, truckers, good weather, homemade pie, strong coffee, kids, wives, sweethearts, and the price of fuel. He/She is your friend and customer. He/She is your source of food, clothing, petroleum and natural resources. In fact, nearly everything in your life arrived in his truck.
