A Yea Forums trucker is best trucker

Truckers spend their days driving on no sleep going from sleezy truck stop to sleezy truck stop eating shitty food. I can't think of a more depressing life. I heard from one trucker that his company gave vacations, but they gave vacations by calling the driver and telling him to shut off the truck and spend his 'vacation' wherever the truck happened to be. It could be in the middle of nowhere or some dreadful midwest town with nothing but a waffle house.

Ur tripppppppin

Somewhere I remember reading that truckers are the biggest audiobook customers. I don't know how they do it.

nolol

And in it he argues that truck driving is going to be replaced by automation, so those folks will be out of a job

Also: JT LeRoy's (Laura Albert) "Sarah" is about truck stop hookers

'Hogg' by Samuel Delaney is a good one.

Writers spend their days writing on no sleep going from sleezy sentence to sleezy sentence eating shitty food. I can't think of a more depressing life. I heard from one writer that his publisher gave advances, but they gave advances by calling the writer and telling him to stop writing and get his advance by getting a real job, wherever the writer happened to be. It could be in the middle of a novel or some dreadful paragraph with nothing but a borrowed allegory.

Current truck driver and former factory worker here - audiobooks are a fucking godsend, and the best achievement of the 21st century is how easily available they are now.

I got into this job so I could spend all day listening to shit.

I envy you in a way. The time I have for audiobooks or reading are very short, though pretty numerous. Can't sit and read a fucking chapter at time

Based.

I met a trucker once. He was dumb as fuck, but he kept a bible with him in his truck.

we could never aspire to be this based

What else would you do if you were sitting alone in a vehicle all day?

Automated trucking has a ways to go. Sensors shit their britches the second they can't get a clear reading of the road lines, which is naturally a problem when a vehicle is chugging along at highway speeds with heavy cargo. Heavy snow and ice is also a problem and nobody wants a HAZMAT truck to be fully autonomous. It's more likely that it won't be fully automated for a long time and that there'll be a truck minder, if you will, during long distance travel. The more immediate problem is dumbasses being goaded into becoming "independent contractors" and wondering why they have no bennies anymore.

Are you the factory worker who got into Don Quixote after reading it in prison?

What are you even saying

>Automated trucking will take jobs
>Here's a short list of reasons why automated trucking will not be taking jobs anytime in the near future and will likely not wholly replace humans for a long time.
What's hard to follow about that?

also true

>sex with hookers whenever you want
>eat and drink whatever you want
>has no college&house debt
better life than depressed undergraduate incel

Wtf are bennies

I think benefits

He makes total sense, re-read it again. Self-driving trucks *do* have a long way to go, but it is something to think about. Isn't Geohot working on some technology relating to that?

Lmao
