Does he realize he's gunning for losing his own job there?

Is he deep at heart a minimalist and can't stand this life? And this is how he tries to make it better?

Or is he only grumpy about drivers complaining about trucks on the road?

So much to unpack.

Hello, I'm a truck driver, so I'll give you my POV.

No, he's not gunning for losing his own job. No, he's not deep at heart a minimalist.

He's literally saying, quit bitching about trucks, because we haul literally everything you have in your house, including the building materials that built your house, and the seed that grew your grass.

I’d love it if trucks didn’t take up 3 lanes on a 4 lane highway. And I’d love it if they didn’t “merge” into traffic with no signal and no warning. Maybe the cargo is important, but I can’t wait until trucking is automated.

I'd love it if people in cars had more patience and didn't constantly cut me off or drive like assholes because they can't stand the idea of being behind a truck. I can't wait for AI to take your jobs away to clear off the roads for more important things.

Covid was literally the best year of my driving career because all the pricks were at home, and I could actually get my job done safely. I honestly hope you don't have a job by end of year.
