The truck is living a hard life. Every professional OTR trucks are involved, admit that fact. Even local drivers will be that which is admitted into the world of trucks, a tough business. Seventy hours a week and not enough rest are some of the standards for truck life.
I heard a talk show on the radio the other night, and they talked about the dangers of overpopulation of our world. I just had to gigglefor me. For those that have the truck driver ran through states such as Montana and Wyoming, to name but a few, I just do not think we are overpopulated. If you can travel hundreds of miles and see only a "few" other vehicles on the road, where the bulk of the population? In fact, the level of industrialization in the U.S. is only 3-5 percent! The "overpopulation" there is within the cities of America. That certainly makes sense. . . people gather aroundthe obvious living rooms. Travel through the back woods of the country. . . they drive the northwestern desert and the deserts of America, and you will see, no traffic, no people, nothing. The life in the truck see this.
The problem with the local driving and OTR truck hits you like a brick, if your work takes you to the cities of America. I caught myself thinking that there are simply too many people on this planet! Therefore, the professional truck --Drivers are so glad to return to the "Open Road" and away from the crowded areas. But considering that this country as a whole has a development of only 3-5 percent, so the reality is we have to say a long way to go, we're overpopulated. If five million people choose to live in a small area such as New York City, obviously you have to be, how shall I say. . . a little 'crowded? "
The truck is the life aggravating best when it comes toMovement of these cities. One of the worst cities for driving is Atlanta. Never-ending accidents and traffic jams are constant. Of course, this can in most major cities in the case when there are just too many cars and not enough lanes to handle them.
Former U.S. Department of Transportation secretary, Norman Y. Mineta, at a conference in Washington, DC on 10 April, said: "The traffic is so bad in the U.S. that if the people get behind the wheel of a single approach controltheir opinion: Traffic Armageddon. "His solution is to seek private financing for U.S. roads and infrastructure. Or in another word: privatization. I tend to agree. Our own government can not keep up with the construction and maintenance of highways and expressways. Continue through the "George Washington" in New York and you feel as if you drive on the streets of Third World country, it is not just the NYC area, either... my home state of Oklahoma needs a major highwayRenewal. You can lose thirty pounds, just from the "shaking" which runs along the Interstate 40th
With all this said, there are some interesting facts about the U.S. and world population. Currently, the U.S. population at 301, 593, 922 and the world is standing on 6, 588, 329, 647 But the world has a way of balancing things out. It has done so for six billion years ago:
It is a birth of all: 8 seconds
It is a death every: 12 seconds
Figure in the futureDisasters and the not-yet-seen diseases, etc., and the prognosis is hidden in a world of overpopulation. This planet has survived ice ages, not massive asteroid strikes, incredible explosions from deep-sea volcanoes, floods and devastating global consequences, we even know. Learn more about the common sense to me that the mother earth will survive our downtown traffic jams. The question is: Can you survive the truck life?
