The numbers say otherwise.
I drive a truck. Owner/operator for 35 years. I think I know a thing or two about this industry. The face of the American trucking industry has been transformed in the last 20 years. This fact is overwhelmingly true. The average truck driver today cannot replace a headlight in his truck. The trucks today have automatic transmissions which aren’t nearly as efficient, more cost-effective, because the average truck driver cannot double clutch the transmission. The truckstop restaurants have closed because immigrant truck drivers seldom get out of their trucks to eat or shower. Now, tell me once again how stupid I am and how ignorantI am about some thing I’ve lived for the last 35 years.
