Same! I've grown up around the industry and while it certainly has it's issues it's one of the few jobs outside of tech I've always wanted to do.


My grandfather drove oil trucks all over West Texas and I worshipped the ground he walked on. Once when I was a child I told him I wanted to be a trucker too. He sat me down and made it very clear that I did not want to be a trucker hah. Driving trucks is a hard life which is probably why there’s lots of country songs about it.
