The Advantages and Disadvantages of Truck Driving

Here in the Philippines, truck driving has been a common source of employment for Filipinos that have not completed college. Usually, Filipinos who ends up to be truck drivers are the ones who have been not successful on their academic years. It is an odd job for someone who have completed college but ended up driving the humongous vehicles. Like my auntie said, this is in contrary of what they are gaining in the US which prompted me to search for their pros and cons.

Pros of Truck Driving:

Salary

In the U.S. almost 70% of the goods are delivered all over the country via trucks. With these, many companies are on a look out to find truck drivers who are skilled and willing to work for them for long hour drives. To give them a work’s worth, companies compensate them well. In comparison with other jobs, truck drivers are earning more than those who worked on offices and finished college courses in the US.

Benefits

If you would be riding a bus from Manila going to Ilocos Norte, Philippines it usually takes 10 hours travel. For the whole duration of the travel, my butt feels numb while feeling very sleepy at times. Image if you are the one who is driving that bus. How would you feel? I think that this is comparable to what drivers of trucking businesses in the Philippines are experiencing but they are enduring stress for much longer hours.

So, to make up for this stressful job, trucking companies give benefits which include health and medical insurance, travel accommodation discounts, high speed wireless network(free) and marriage counseling(free).

Scenery

Working in the office usually gets boring with the non-changing environment. Everyday you’ll get to see the same room, wall, pantry but if you are a truck driver you will get to see different sceneries.

Cons

Repetitive

By being a truck driver, the job would be repetitive especially if you would be a local truck driver. But for me, it would not be a problem at all because it would mean that you’ll get monitor with your family. It’s a perk but could be a hassle to some.

Long Hour Drives


Like I’ve said, long hour drives would be the hard part of being a truck driver. With these, you’ll be missing some of the important events in the family. You’ll also miss hanging out with your friends.

  8. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being ripped off? I'd truly appreciate it.

  10. I would like to show appreciation to this writer just for rescuing me from such a condition. Because of browsing through the search engines and getting opinions that were not powerful, I thought my life was over. Existing minus the approaches to the difficulties you've sorted out as a result of the article is a critical case, and those which might have in a wrong way damaged my career if I had not noticed your website. Your primary competence and kindness in maneuvering everything was important. I am not sure what I would've done if I had not come across such a point like this. I'm able to at this time look ahead to my future. Thanks a lot so much for the expert and result oriented help. I won't hesitate to suggest your web site to anyone who wants and needs guide on this situation.
