Dealing with loneliness on the road

Orlando

I’m wondering if I’m destined to be alone forever. My lifestyle makes it hard to find a significant other and I don’t think I’m attractive. How do you deal with loneliness when you’re on the road? Jokes are welcome; I don’t want to bring down the mood of this thread. I take antidepressants to help.

Been there, done that. I keep a stash of good tunes and a CB radio handy.

Sometimes it feels like you’re just a lone wolf out there.

Loneliness can be a tough load to haul, but remember, even the loneliest highways have rest stops.

I try to meet other truck drivers at rest stops and truck stops. It’s nice to have someone to talk to who understands what I’m going through.

+ I keep in touch with my family and friends through video calls and texts. It helps me feel connected to them even when I’m on the road.

I listen to audiobooks and podcasts to keep my mind occupied while I’m driving. It helps me feel less lonely.

I travel with my dog. Having a pet with me on the road makes me feel less alone

It can be hard to meet new people when you’re on the road, but it’s not impossible. I try to meet other truck drivers at rest stops and truck stops. It’s nice to have someone to talk to who understands what I’m going through.
