Van driving jobs are still plentiful despite the economy. People have in their minds a certain image of the average trucker. They think truckers are driving because they can't do anything else. This also implies that anyone could become a professional car chauffeur. The going article will lead us through the theme A great career for the right person in truck stop driver events.
We like to think of home as the one place in the world where we can completely unwind, relax and spend time with the people we love. It's where we live life. That's the ideal. But if you're an over the road automobile chauffeur, the reality can be a lot different.
Conversations are sound bites of "How you doing? Can I freshen up that coffee?" or a few crackling voices over a CB radio. Sure, automobiles and automobile stops are far more comfortable and chauffeur friendly than a generation ago, but they aren't home. Home is still that special place with special people truckers doesn't get to see often enough.
It isn't unusual for a long-haul bus chauffeur to only get home once every three or four weeks. When they do finally get some downtime with family and friends at home, it may be no more than one day for every week spent on the road. That makes the time a trucker has at home all the more precious. Since there's so little of it, make sure you get the most out of it and make it quality time.
Some may deliver recognition with cash bonuses or gifts, million-mile and safety awards, a cup of coffee or windshield cleaning at bus stops, an extra paid day off, goodie bags with fresh fruit and water, free health checks and frequent other ways to show truckers they're appreciated. It's all part of letting these road warriors know we're glad they're out there working for us every day.
Anytime a person is not enjoying their job, or if the job is causing problems for them, they are better off doing something else. People become a professional chauffeur for many reasons; some want to get paid as they travel but they understand that it is a job first, so they are happy. Some choose to automobile to escape a negative environment. Many truckers were introduced to trucking at a young age by a father or uncle or grandfather and knew from that very point in time they wanted to become a trucker chauffeur.
Some people become drivers simply to experience the adventure. Often a person will retire from another career such as military, or police officer and take a job as a driver. Some people change careers from an even more stressful jobs. I have met a Doctor, Lawyer, and Accountant who switched to trucking. It's truly unbelievable how diverse the background of drivers are and the reasons they decide to drive. Any reason is fine for the person who knows what he or she is getting into.
Nobody wants to waste their time at home, but not at the expense of some much needed R&R and quality family time. Given that, it's important to strike a balance. Getting a good start on that can be done by practicing the three Ps: Predict, Plan, Prioritize. Look ahead to see when you'll be home and how long you can stay.
