Do you really want ppl to talk you out of this? Or was that ironic?
Sounds kind of romantic (maybe in the US), but here in Germany it's one of the most stressful, competitive and unrewarding jobs I can think of. Driving time is restricted, you're stuck in traffic jams all the time, but you still have to beat the clock or you lose the job to some cheap competitor from a neighboring country.
And those rest areas along the motorway where you have to spend the night! No proper washrooms, no "truck stops". Nothing. (maybe a hooker in a trailer, if you're lucky)
Was that helpful? ;) (actually, I think you should give it a try)
Hmm...I love the idea of you getting out of your current work environment. My one concern is that you mention back/hip issues. There's LOTS of shifting in driving a big truck, so that may be an issue. However, I'd definitely check it out though. My girlfriend's hubby is a truck driving and he makes LOADS (over 6 figures). It's worth investigating.
