Truckers and long distance trucking is about half of the business my company does. We provide the various log book and inspection technologies they are required to use when operating their vehicles.

There are about 10% of these people (60/40 men to women, actually) who have any skills/talent/knowledge at all. The rest are just ... well, you saw it in the video.

The coolest thing in trucking is that young women are getting into it. There are dozens and dozens of IG/TikTok accounts of pretty young 20-somethings with their dog, doing long-haul trucking and living in their vehicles full time.

And that's pretty goddamn cool, as far as I'm concerned.
