The Stereotypes of truck drivers by: The Crazy Trucker
Lol, well, I have been called crazy and weird myself!
I know you are talking about a much more intense characteristic of those two words then how they pertain to me though.
Just as with the stereotype people have of anyone they are not personally knowledgeable of, ignorance takes over. People go by the movies they've seen,
or the stories they've heard, they pictures they've seen on the news or in newspapers.
Now of course positive, normal, everyday people are not the ones thats going to be in the news or in a newspaper. If its not drama or tragedy it's likely not to be reported. In the movies, we are basically portrayed as rebels
in every sense with little discipline or moral boundaries.
For the more intelligent people like you, they ask questions or do research or judge us truckers based on personal interaction.
However, for the other clowns they assume out of the hundreds of thousands of truckers we are like the 40 potbelly, redneck, weirdo's, and crazies they've seen on the movies or on the news or read about in the paper.
Oh, don't get me wrong, there are some weirdo's out here and some straight up lunatics. But there are also wacko lawyers, dentists, teachers, stock brokers, burger flippers, etc too. Every profession has people of varies personalities and problems.
Half of my post didn't fit but thanks for asking.
Come back anytime. You thinking about driving?
