Default Re: Shortage of truck drivers in Australia?

When I think about it I think it would be great to drive around the country seeing all the sights, listening to music, podcasts, audiobooks.

In reality you probably drive in boring places more often than scenic places, the hours are probably horrible and the pay isn't great especially if you're not getting paid to sit in a line to load/unload.

I'll just stay on the railway. Easier work and probably paid more than most truckers. It's pretty boring though.

Then I look at the tipper-and-dog drivers in Sydney who often do well
Probably because they drive at 110% all day every day.
