the trucking industry has been disquieted about lack of parking, citing it as a contributor to driver fatigue. The ATA said there are 11 truck drivers for every one parking space. In 2009, truck driver Jason Rivenburg was killed after parking overnight at an abandoned gas station. He was unable to park at the warehouse where he was scheduled to deliver a load of milk.
These guys make it seem fun.
Having a family member who was a long haul driver and who died far too young from physical and mental stress, my answer is no, it is not a good job.
