I had no idea how difficult or stressfull driving a big rig is!

most folks really don't know... I have a lot of trucker friends...it ain't easy. you've got many tons of gigantic vehicle to watch out for over extended periods of time...you're often alone too.

My Dad was a truck driver all his life. Had many 18 wheelers. I miss going on the open road with him.
