Fox News Digital spoke with Iowa-based trucker Guido Miller about his job, highlighting the benefits and challenges and why American trucking professionals should be appreciated.
"Before I got ‘on the road’ [OTR, or over-the-road trucking], the furthest West I had traveled was Omaha, Nebraska," said Miller."This all changed once I started to drive trucks — and getting paid to do it — across our country."Guido Miller of Iowa smiles from the cab of his big rig. "Trucking is a lifestyle," he told Fox News Digital.
"The job is not without its hardships," said Miller."Long hours every day, for weeks at a time and longer. Typically, we'll spend 11 hours driving and work up to 14 hours a day between driving and non-driving work time."POTHOLES IN AMERICA: DRIVERS MUST KNOW THIS BEFORE HITTING THE ROAD Truck drivers experience"challenging working conditions," he said — everything from"hazardous weather and roads" to"ever-present traffic and construction."
That's what makes the job satisfying, he said:"Overcoming the daily challenges and seeing the load through, from pickup to delivery." The trucking industry has seen changes during Miller’s time behind the wheel — some good, others"not so good," he said. "From the food you eat, to the roof over your head, to the clothes on your back and the fuel in your tank — if you got it, a truck driver brought it. Trucking moves America.""The days of cross-country long-haul trucking being the norm have evolved into more regional runs, offering better work schedules for drivers with more time at home.""GPS has turned out to be a beneficial tool for drivers, but I still never leave home without my Rand McNally map," he said.
