I have a friend who was a truck driver for a few years, then a charter bus driver for a while. She learned to drive her father's grain truck when she was 16 and was hauling grain around Illinois (farm use permit) by age 18, hauling grain to ports in Houston at 21. She finished college and was done driving by the age of 25 or 26. She basically said driving truck is what you do when you are too dumb to do anything else.
She's funny to listen to - they have their own language. She says, " I was driving truck at 16," but says, "I was a bus driver ..." I don't know why being a truck driver is referred to as "driving truck" but being a bus driver is referred to as, "being a bus driver."
