Trucker culture is a unique culture. It even has a language of it’s own.

But over the years, a rapidly growing population demanding more goods, therefore an increasing demand for more trucks and more truck drivers, and highways have become busier, the trucker culture, professionalism and values of a proud, hard-working group of men and women, begins to weaken.

1. No time to stop and help a fellow trucker or a four wheeler in distress
2. Time is money for truckers where the majority are paid on a piece work system, by the mile.
3. More drivers are needed to fill empty seats, means truck driving schools and programs running driver assembly lines to pump out new drivers fast.
4. Increasingly complex Hours of Service regulations and an increasing number of rules, increases the stress level for professional truck drivers and hurts the pocketbook of the average trucker
5. The level of respect for the professional truck driver is at an all time low.
