Its not a job that will suit everyone, but its a shame old school truck drivers are so quick to comment on the negatives instead of encouraging younger people to take a chance in this industry 🤷♀️

There’s a shortage because you’re expected to have endless responsibility and endless hours for nigh on minimum wage
