Hi, my Dad used to be a truck driver.  He was gone a lot.
Aw that is a shame, but truck drivers provide an essential service to society by transporting goods all over the country.
That absolutely do.  I heard they have self-driving trucks now.
I was under the impression that they were working on them but not on the road yet. Truck drivers are also responsible for inspecting their vehicles and providing maintenance.
Yes, I don't how many times I have seen a truck broken down on the side of the road.  It must be stressful.
Yeah im not sure how a self driving truck would handle that. Working on the trucks like that is a risk of road traffic injury.
I think the self-driving trucks are being used on routes with less traffic.
I was unaware of that I will have to do some more research about that. I worry about all of the truckers losing their jobs though. Where will they go for work?
