I thank God for them.
And I thank God I'm not one of them.
I see so many people seemingly going out of their way to make their lives more difficult. We need them. Think of how much stuff is brought to your grocery store, Walmart, your home... by truck drivers.
Sometimes, they really hack me off! Like, when a section of our highway was closed down to one lane Northbound, and it was "up hill" to the traffic light. There has been a seemingly endless convoy of trucks carrying oilfield drill pipe North, and when they would get stuck at that light, it would seemingly take them FOREVER (and lots of black smoke) to 'granny gear' up that hill and get out of the way (where the road widened back to 4 lanes) to let impatient people like me fly by.
So, I often try to watch out for them. If I'm approaching an intersection where I see a truck attempting to turn, I make sure I'm back far enough from the intersection to allow him to come through.
OK, time for some trucker music!
