I grew up in a trucking family. Dad, Uncles, Grandpa, Grandma.... they were all truckers. I never knew I wasn't the only one who felt this way. I didn't want to be a trucker for the same reasons and was resented for being the oldest and not carrying on the family tradition. I know how hard being a trucker is and I am so proud of all of my family who have made it a career.
