Heavy Loads and Short Fuses: Why You Shouldn’t Mess with Truck Drivers . AI-Generated.
There’s a silent menace rolling across America’s highways, and it’s not the eighteen wheels themselves but the human soul behind them. Picture this: a lone truck driver barreling down I-40, the hum of the engine a lullaby of isolation. Hours blur into days, and the road becomes an endless black ribbon cutting through time and space.
