Perhaps that is why there is a business push to bring in Mexican trucks - cheaper labor and vehicles.
My son was looking into trucking school. He ended up not going at the last minute because he frankly couldn’t deal with life on the road. You are away from home, alone, almost all the time. The turnover is huge.
His friend, however, did the course. It was amazing. This guy has a serious weight problem and couldn’t get a regular job. So he goes to trucking school for a week or two, and is hired immediately. It’s decent money for two weeks in school and a job that’s in demand.
The best part is, he met a girl, got married, and she is going for her licenses and they are trucking together. As a “team” they earn better money and don’t suffer the usual road loneliness.
