It's not about driving the truck. It's about camping in the truck for weeks shitting in a ditch and washing yourself with cold water.
I know someone who is a truck driver and recently retired. He saw the company he worked for replace the natives with Bulgarians and Romanians.

- paganel 5y agoMy brother is a Romanian truck driver (he’s on his way to France right now, if I’m not mistaken). He got into this career at 32 years of age because he couldn’t make it anymore running a small cow farm, his farm couldn’t compete against the subsidized milk coming from the likes of France or Poland (a temporary, politically-induced ban on selling beef to Russia also didn’t help, his cows’ value was halved over-night). What I’m saying is that every action has a reaction, those Romanians and Bulgarians are not into it to steal someone else’s job, most of them were forced to do it because of economical and political decisions taken over their heads.
