I agree what you stated about truckers. I drove over the road for 9 years before retiring a little over a year ago.
It's truly a thankless job. Most companies and quite frankly most people treat drivers with very little respect. Of course there are some very rude and disrespectful drivers but few and far between. I've sat out major snowstorms and hurricanes sitting in the truck for days hoping that I wouldn't run out of fuel. FEMA has many truckers "at the ready" for all types of disasters. The drivers will make their sacrifices to get us the things needed as quickly and as safely as possible, I know a few drivers who do just that, bring essentials to those in need. I've always had a high regard for medical professionals, what they must deal with on a daily basis must be extremely difficult.
