My father was a truck driver.
Cool, it seems like a solid occupation to try.
He provided an essential service by transporting goods.
That's good for him, since truck drivers really are paramount.
He also had to inspect his vehicle for mechanical items.
Interesting, I guess that makes sense to make sure that everything is running smoothly.
He was both the owner operator/owner driver of his truck.
Sounds like a pretty rewarding job then, since you have all the responsibility.
