6. My brother was once a long-hauler. In his many, many over-the-road miles not one mishap.

When it became time to get out of trucking he had had it, right up to the roof his Kenworth. Driving professionally was no longer fun. Downright DANGEROUS in fact. His biggest peeve was four-wheelers showing up in his mirrors from literally NOWHERE and more often than not way too many "drivers" would sneak up in his blind spots and remain there; as if their cruise control was set to "invisible".

How long did you drive for? Were you local, regional?
