I am perfectly content with being alone. I would even like the distance trucking career would put between me and people I know, less social responsibilities, etc. If I could get paid for being in solitary confinement, I would be totally ok with it, presuming no violence and free access to books. But I can’t get paid for that, of course (correct me if there is a way lol). I am not saying this lightly, it really is the way I am. But in certain sense I do preffer the rambling nature of trucking to the monotony of a cell.
I can also tolerate heat, cold, being uncomfortable, bad smells, bad food, etc. I would also be willing to work for much lower wage than that which truckers generally get (not going to say that to boss obviously lol).
What I really don’t like are complex social situations, not being able to fulfill people’s expectations, having to argue with people. Of course, I can deal with these situations, but I am not as good at it as dealing with first type of frustration. I also have moral norms which I won’t break under any cost (seriously endangering someone, bribing people, lying, etc.).
Of course, almost every job requires some social skills and bearing with other people’s expectatioms, but would you say that trucking involves disproportionatelly high level of stressful situations in the category which I am not good at?
