1ºI am sure there is a trucker shortage since during the riots by blm, antifa and the democrats showed it was completely fine to stop them in the middle of the road, steal everything on their trucks while other thugs pulled them out and tried to beat them to death. And now couple that with the fact that Braindead Biden is single handedly raising the price of gas to 4 plus dollars a gallon, not just groceries, but EVERY SINGLE THING THAT COMES ON A TRUCK OR A PLANE WILL INCREASE. That isn’t rocket science and also wait for it.........IT ISN’T TRUMPS FAULT!
2ºIt’s because driving a truck sucks. 50+ hours a week , usually 70 in 8 days then you might get home for 34-48 hours then back out again. The money was way better this year then when I originally left 3 years ago. I put in 7 years then left for 3 years until the pandemic took away the music industry. I went back to trucking for 4 months and couldn’t take it anymore. It’s a horrible life with no personal / work balance, your life becomes truck driving and the truck. Thank god live music is starting again so I could get back to that
