Truck Driver, Heavy / Tractor-Trailer - (City withheld for privacy), British Columbia, Canada
I am a 25 + year Transport driver Canada/US. I have come to love my job due to comprimise. There are a lot of things in my life that I have left behind me. In my experience, family is most important. It's Too late to negotiate when their gone. Money is second. You have to earn enough that when you do get home you can relax. No one (even your loved ones) wants to hear your job woes.
Now, if you can find that Balance, You've got the right job for you.
