When I was in the Army, it was common to hear someone gripe or complain about a situation he did not like, from shining boots to marching in parades. Constant discipline, however, prepares men to be ready to defend their country. It’s great to watch a sharp drill team go through maneuvers, but that kind of discipline doesn’t come without much training and practice. As a truck driver, there are many things to gripe about. Does the job get to you sometimes? Be thankful for a paying job so you can provide for your family. Has a construction zone got you tied up? Remember, that’s how a bumpy road gets smooth. The next time you are grumbling about the everyday occurrences common to a trucker’s life, consider this: you are being trained to become a great driver, a great husband, and a great father. Try being thankful for each challenge and consider it practice to become the best person you can be. Comment here.
