Wow, thank you so much to share this follow-up video. I watched it today. My heart goes out to him. He is trying to be emotionally naked in front of an Internet audience about serious quality of life issues for OTR truckers.
He mentioned the intensity was simply too high. It's an "all or nothing" job. Honestly, when I first posted, I wasn't aware how griding the job is. I'm glad I watched this follow-up video.
What if trucking companies offered to allow two truckers to split the schedule? Then, it is up the pair to work it out. I feel the same about people who quit their office careers early for emotional labour -- family care. Many of them could easy return to their old role in 50% capacity, and split with another person. I know it could be done, but management has no interest.
