A truck driver needs:
• an aptitude for mechanics
• to enjoy practical work
• to be physically fit
• good driving skills
You also need a minimum of one year holding a 'C' Class Driver Licence prior to obtaining a Light Rigid Driver Licence.

Oh i get it, other truckers do. Why do they do that? Do they like being rocked to sleep

Helping global warming, then we won't have to run them 24/7.

don't you have night heaters in your trucks then like we do in England?

Smudger75

We do have bunk heaters but when it drops to -35 you risk the chance of your engine freezing if you turn it off when your asleep!
