The Good Big Truck Driver

The good big truck driver takes pride in their jobs. He or she contributes to the industry in a positive way making life of a trucker an experience like no other. They ask questions before becoming a trucker as they do before getting involved in most things. They perform their duties with the sense of belonging to a part of an industry that no one can dispute plays a significant role in making the wheels of the economy turn.

Driven by this mindset, they perform as professionals. On time appointments, safe operation and courteous driving habits comes automatically. And though patience is a constant struggle,(lol, ok for me anyway, I wear the numbers 1-10 out!)good big truck drivers understand the importance make every attempt to master patience. He knows that rushing is usually a waste of time and effort and so he counts

The amazing thing is that there are truckers all over the world going through what I go through everyday who could immediately identify with us truckers over here in America. In every country that trucks are on the road delivering the essential products, raw materials, building materials and other goods to where they need to be for other businesses and communities to thrive. It's good to be an employed as an essential part of a vital industry.

Without trucks in any country, that country stops. Without good truck drivers at trucking companies the bad truck drivers would cause the companies to collapse. Good drivers know this and treats the job with the responsibility and the respect it deserves.

They bond with others out here similar to that of military comrades, or football players, or race car drivers, etc.

They pay attention to the elements of nature, the changes in their surroundings, the attitudes of people, the differences in cultures and in regions across the country.There is no job like being a truck driver. For the Good Big Truck Driver trucking is more than a job, its a lifestyle.

Often you will see us parked behind broke down four wheeler or other big trucks. You will see us letting you out in front of us on that busy street as you leave the corner gas station. (We see the light is red, don't worry, we are not gonna block you in!) They get over when possible so you can get on the highway. (But we wish you knew that traffic on the interstate has the right of way and that you are suppose to adequately accelerate or slow down to make the merge a smooth move with out us holding your hand!)

They always signal before slowing to make turns or changing lanes. They always turn on headlights in rain and wear their safety belts. These things are common sense and common practice to the professional good big truck driver. Defensive driving is second nature to them because they are constantly thinking of the welfare of others. This affects the way they drive.

(People don't realize how much psychology is involved in driving habits. In my opinion it is very closely related to how you view yourself and others around you. For instance a self centered jerk will cut people off or ride the left lane for no reason, etc.)
Good big truck drivers are good people who happens to be drivers. They think of others as much themselves. Good big truck drivers love people and understand that everyone has the potential to change their lives so we do what we can when we can do help them. They have the inner desire to see others prosper and live well.

They tend to make good boyfriends and husbands. They usually find that balance to successfully nurture relationships at home with family even though they are on the road most of the time. That's because they are trustworthy and reliable. They give and receive equal amounts of respect.

They keep companies profitable and products on your favorite store's shelves when you expect it to be there. Our attitudes are pleasant and positive because our outlook on life is that all things are possible and the future is what you decide to make it now.

(To whom it may concern: Your life is not dictated by what you endured or what your ancestors endured. You can choose to let the past propel you forward or drag you back, it's up to you. You know or can learn what it takes to be successful (read or ask questions)so don't make excuses for why you don't have it, find out how to get it and go get it. Others have done it with absolutely no advantages so to make excuses instead of making some type of effort means you are a fool. Set goals for yourself and work toward them. You can do what anyone else can do. Believe in you, not in those who say you can't achieve because of what you or your people has been through.) ok, back on topic . . .

Good truck drivers know life isn't necessarily fair but to us adversity is a challenge to make us stronger. They find ways to reverse the disadvantages of becoming a trucker to use them as advantages. We know the power of planning ahead. We overcome, we excel, we make things happen. It's in our nature.

If your gonna to drive, be a professional, be a GOOD BIG TRUCK DRIVER.
