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.
They didn't realize along with the travel and site seeing there was also breakdowns and unexpected detours. Some people become truckers before they realize they would have to deal with four-wheelers who seems to care little about safety on the highway or just don't understand. Chauffeurs also find that it is expensive on the road if they don't plan for being on the road.
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.
After a little down time, you can relax with family and friends and just enjoy being together. That may be as simple as going out for ice cream or taking in a ball game. Whatever that time is, use it to get connected. Share stories about what happened on the road or the places you've been. Listen to what family and friends have been up to while you were gone. Just spend time being normal. Refresh and recharge.
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.

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.
