My father was a long haul furniture mover for 35 years. This article was spot on from stories I have heard...as well as what I saw riding along with him and working for a month. Freight haulers tend to disrespect the furniture movers quite often and the furniture movers tend to view the freight haulers as lazy since they don't load their own trucks. It is a difficult business...very physically demanding. What finally ended my father's driving career was 3 back surgeries in a 10 year span. They finally had to tell him that not only could he not load his own truck anymore (he still did after the first 2) but that he could no longer sit for long periods of time just to drive. He amassed over 1M safe driving miles at the end. After that he went on to drive school buses so at least his skills were still put to use.
