If it weren’t for truckers your shelves would be empty. Your gas tanks would be empty. Everything from tires to medicine would be unavailable. This is fact.
Truckers are literally single-handedly sustaining society. It’s thankless, backbreaking, grueling work. The pay is decent but not nearly enough. There's an argument to be made for truckers' wages matching or even exceeding those of doctors. Both provide an essential service to society. Which one is more important is arguable.

Unbelievably long hours, hazardous conditions, and dealing with civilians in the way, driving on OUR roads constantly.

You WILL respect truckers. You WILL yield right of way to truckers. You WILL thank a trucker and tip every single one you come across. End of.

Nope, they lobby against self driving trucks which could do it for cheaper.

Can the train deliver directly to the store? Stfu retard. Respect the truckers.

if truckers are so great why do gig drivers make more than them huh?

>>28487740 (OP)
I grow my own food and I go to the woods and forage and hunt for stuff (possum, snake, turkey, duck, etc.), and while I do need fuel and all (though I am planning on putting a wood gassifier on my vehicle), you guys are just pawns in a bigger system. Not saying that you guys are not unimportant, but you are no more important than a grocer or a butcher or a farmer, which is not bad, but you should not be so conceited about it. You earn gratitude, not owed it.

Volvos are shitty trucks.
PACCAR or go home.

they also said columbus couldnt reach india by crossing the atlantic

>>28489251
"they" say a lot of things. until you can replace the ability to pin everything on the driver self-driving trucks will not become normalized.

>>28489251
they also say americans are white lol

>>28487740 (OP)
The only problem I have with truckers is when drooling moron trucker #1 starts trying to pass drooling moron trucker #2 (often on an uphill grade) and drooling moron trucker #1 doesnt have the speed to get past....but also drooling moron #2 wont ease up 1mph to let this other asshole get by him.
So you end up holding up traffic for 2 miles.
As a truckerbro you agree right? Can we agree that both those fucks are complete assholes right?
If you can't then we're gonna have a problem son.

>truck passing another truck makes you 30 seconds late to the mcdonalds drive through
I feel for you anon. You're the true victim here.

My car doesn't use gas retard
Show me the trucks that deliver the power

>>28489471
When I hauled general chemicals, one of my deliveries was ferrochorlide to a nuclear power plant along the Ohio river, that chemical is used to clean the outflow and is absolutely crucial to prevent contamination.
But that's assuming you use clean power (still needed a truck lol) cause if you get your power from a coal plant, you're looking at like 100 trucks a day.
Obligatory YWNBAW and please make your suicide a spectacle.

lol u r a dumb nigger and if we lived 200 years ago you'd be chained up in my basement as my toy

^drooling moron trucker detected.
Still unclear on identity as #1 or #2.... to be continued.

>>28489527
Yes :) and I have a lot of fun doing it

>>28489388
Yes

I do it deliberately to try and get (You) to lose weight.

>>28489378
Either of them provide more value to society than you.
Plus the roads belong to them. They can do whatever they want.

>>28487740 (OP)
if i don't respect you will i still get my stuff?

the answer is yes. shoulda stayed in school losers !

>>28487758
>so instead you should trust in some 68IQ mouth breather texting the trailer parks to get some more meth

Trains are superior. We should build more of them to keep the truckfags off the highway, then use smaller trucks to make the last mile deliveries.

>>28489613
Not that guy but id unironically trust the mouth breather on meth than off meth. That shit will keep him alert and focused, he'll do better than 95% of drivers on the road.

>>28489645
The problem with that people will start complaining over having to wait at every railroad crossing, that is now everywhere.

>>28487740 (OP)
Road workers are more important than truck workers because without roads the trucks have to drive on bumpy paths and get stuck in yucky mud :(

If non-truckers don't make it to work, they have no money for gas or to go to the store

If non-truckers don't buy things from stores, run stores, make things that are sold in stores, truckers don't have a job.

This is called society - it's a complex machine of many parts. And no one's going to celebrate you truck stop goblins for bathing in your own ignorance and not seeing past "big truck go brrr." Not even realizing you need a point a and a point b as much as those need you to go between them.

Your job is thankless - thinks every other driver on the road too. If you aren't sucking off gas station cashiers for being there at 3am to sell you a sausage biscuit and an energy drink while putting up with the weirdo smalltalk of the kind of person that chooses to work an insane asylum on wheels, practice what you preach

>>28487758
Better than Brapjeet Stinkdick using his cousin's uncertified truck

Flip-flop driver detected. Don't you have other guys trailers to back into?

>>28489525
If we lived 200 years ago you'd end up getting lynched for pederasty

>>28487758
I trust it more than a trucker, but I'd also trust a literal dog more than a trucker so...

If nothing else it will at least be programmed to stay in it's fucking containment lane.

>>28487740 (OP)
Truckers are basically the cyclists of the interstate: wherever they go there are ten normal people stuck behind them desperately trying to get the fuck around. A thousand times more manhours are wasted in the world sitting in traffic staring at the back end of a semi struggling to do 0-60 in under five minutes than are wasted stuck behind lycraniggers, and that trailer full of basketballs and doritos that you're hauling to Shartmart doesn't make up for it.

>>28493481
that webm is aids but i think even worse are the people in regular cars that refuse to pass a truck because they seem to think that the moment they get beside them, the truck will instantly pounce and flip on its side specifically to crush them. so you have a line of 5+ cars all tailgating each other and you have to start tailgating the guy at the front to get him to just push the damn pedal a bit harder.

>>28493495
it happens more and more with jeets, pakis, negroes from africa, and hohols driving without licenses nowadays

You've already made this exact same thread and OP.
