Modern truck driving is indentured servitude at the beginner level. Looked into it as a retirement gig-schools are in the range cited above, and yeah, most students are sponsored then have to work it off. There's nowhere to sleep many nights, rest stops are full/full, and guys are sleeping on offramps and getting harassed by cops for doing so. Plus the modern time out requirements mean stress and watching the clock all the time. And you can sit at the mercy of an offloading logistics terminal for ridiculous time,and of course you can't leave the load, ever.

Nah. I really feel for the young guys breaking in.
