Imagine being able to say I've met more new people in a year than most people do in a lifetime. Sounds lonely?

Trucking lifestyle is a sunset at a rest stop, the changing colors of the leaves in the fall, and the constant activity of a busy highway. Feel anything inside reading it? if so, you're a true trucker

If you think truckers are just behind the wheel, you're unaware about truck stops. It's a whole new world

You know, truckers often help each others, so it's like a big family out there. How can you be lonely?

I've learned that the best way to alleviate loneliness is to listen to podcasts and audiobooks. Also it helps you never be short on conversation

Sure, we tend to spend a lot of time on the road, but that don't mean we're lonely. I've made some of my best friends on the road, and we in touch through social media or CB.

The road calls to some of us, and we have answered. It's a lifestyle that's both exhausting and rewarding

I've always thought truckers are the real-life version of "road warriors" from those action movies, but the reality is different

This is true because modern times have made working as a trucker more enjoyable and allow you to be more closely connected with your family, when you are far away.

I try to be in touch with friends and family through video calls, it helps a lot. If there were no such technologies, I would have left and found another job.

For me truck driver means you're a master of your own time, no boss behind your back watching you how you're turning your wheel.

I have a friend who's a trucker, and I assure you, his phone bill is much longer than mine, so I assume he ain't so lonely at all 🤣

I don't think loneliness is caused by the job. For those who crave social interactions daily, it would seem like loneliness.

loneliness is a big problem, but hey, we have the best stories to tell – and those stories are worth the loneliness.

Sure, it gets lonesome, but that’s what truck stop karaoke is for. You haven’t lived until you’ve belted ‘Convoy’ with a bunch of strangers.

Life on the road’s what you make it. My rig’s my rolling man cave – just me, the open road, and my rubber duckies.

Yeah, truck drivers love what they do. For many of them, it’s a passion. They live in a truck and make it their home for sure.

Always together, rolling! It's a different life, it's own way! If you're not a truck driver, your life is a little the same, work and home! It's good when you're single

Oh, but at the same time, every day is entirely different than the last. Every moment is filled with unknowns – traffic conditions, weather conditions, changing load assignments, truck breakdowns, and many others. You never know what to expect, and that’s interesting.
