When we were moving out of state in 2000, I did find almost all the truckers very courteous and careful drivers.

In any group ( even if it's a bunch of Trappist Monks ) you'll find a few bad actors, but generally speaking, I'd rather be among a group of truck drivers ( or construction men, mechanics, welders- working guys ) than any other bunch.

They know what hard work, long hours, and the value of a paycheck mean. Most are family men.

I've always posed a question to people who wonder what really counts in America:

"If you could wave a magic wand, and make one of two groups of people vanish, which of these would bring America to a halt?"

1- Truck Drivers, or

2)- the CEO's of all the big companies?

If we didn't have men ( and some women ) making all those runs, from delivery vans to semi's, every day, America would quit working. The CEO's? Their companies would get along fine with their Vice Presidents and Secretaries running things, at least for a while.
