Picture this. Rolling down the interstate. Listening to some quack named mud duck on a cd radio. Wondering why the fuck your 3.5 kids haven’t had any babies yet after you put them through college on your truckers salary.
You call your wife on your hands free telephone. Ask her to check the 401k balance one more time. Only a little over 2 million. Retirement would suck on 2 million. Better keep on driving into your 70s when one of those kids might accidentally have a baby after getting pregnant in a state that doesn’t allow abortions anymore.
You’re wondering what the fuck is wrong with all these idiot crayon eater’s playing on their phones right?
They’re hopeless, overworked and have nothing to lose. Realistically, nothing to gain by working harder either actually.
You think back to when you got your start in this industry. You told your WIFE (who was and is still actually faithful) how you were going on the road. You we’re gonna buy her a house. You remember how happy she was when you bought it.
Then you remember how 3 bedrooms weren’t really enough so you sold it for a newer, bigger model at a 400% profit.
Paid that one off too.
You wonder why your kids are on so much medication. Hell, you paid the tuition. They got a great job in stem. They make fuck…50k a year as a computer scientist. Why can’t they just be happy.
It’s the younger generation. They’re fucking lazy and don’t know how good they have it.
Spoiled kids.
You park the truck. Walk inside. Past a “now hiring sign for $21 an hour to work the cashier at a gas station. The biggest challenge is to say “welcome to loves” CHEERFULLY 500 times a day to a guy who hasn’t showered in 2 days.
You wonder why no one is getting married anymore as you take a quick check at your only fans page to see if you got any exclusive content from your young models.
It’s tough to comprehend how lazy and entitled the younger generation is you think. Why don’t they just pull themselves up by the boot straps like I did.
You login to Reddit to see that 4 new girls have dmed you. They’re just trying to drum up more “fans”.🙄
They must have learned it on the hustle culture podcast you heard your daughter listening to.
A new driver walks by your truck. You think, he has to be making 1500 a week and he can barely back that truck in. Shit.
He must have been playing on his phone during training.
He was probably messaging instagram girls he’ll never meet telling them how beautiful they are.
They don’t ever respond back, but that’s ok. Once he’s a big owner op he’ll be able to take them to Cabo like the other guys.
Some day.
He wonders how many years he’ll have to stay otr before he can afford a one bedroom apartment in his favorite city. 3-4? If he really saves he won’t need his mom to co-sign.
There’s that fucking mud duck again you think. Wondering to yourself if he’ll ever shut the fuck up.
You ask the new guy if he’s heard him. He looks at you like an alien.
You chuckle. Pick up the mic and tell the other old timers you aren’t wearing any panties for the 10th time today.
Someone tells you to shut up stupid. You laugh. Got ‘em again.
