Is truck driving a stressful job?

I’m thinking about becoming a truck driver. People I’ve spoken to say that it’s a stressful job, but it looks like fun. Can you tell me if truck driving is a stressful job?

There is little doubt that truck driving is stressful. In fact, it might be one of the most stressful jobs in the United States.
Truck driving
can be stressful for these reasons:
  • It is lonely and isolating
  • Trucks drivers often feel disrespected by other drivers
  • Driving a truck takes skill and focus
  • Truck drivers have to deal with a lot of regulations
  • Truck drivers often have to drive through the night or work long days
All drivers and commercial drivers should look to see if they can pay less for their
car insurance
