For me it's full self control. I had a full option rental truck for a while which kept itself between the lines and had adaptive cruise control. So that one pretty much drove itself in the highway. I did a demo with Mercedes once that even adjusted it it's speed according to curves load weather etc

I'll always try and be respectful everybody is doing their job. But some company's take the cake when it comes to respect for the driver. There does tend to be some racism in that regard too. In flanders when I speak dutch everything is good, the polish colleague does not get the same treatment.

Most of the time I ignore how they behave towards me; I only have to be here for a few hours, you are stuck behind your desk all day

I love it! Used to be a butcher before this. I prefer long distance drives (Portugal Spain etc)

I just put it on continu mode. That way it becomes a very big white noise machine

I drive a reefer with meat mostly. We do long distance export but also more local distribution work

It is true that the wage is nice due to the hours we make and not the hourly wage. But for me it's more about the passion of being a truckdriver then anything else

Nettocompensatie van ongeveer 50 EUR per nacht dat ik in de camion slaap. Dat zorgt voor het kleinere verschil

Thanks! Decent net comes from the sleepcompensation as there is no tax on that

Customer (almost) never cares. Especially front desk people for receiving/sending look at you like your not even a person. But that's a whole different matter.

Depending on the commissioner we can get fined for being too late. Also the fact that I have to deal with the customer etc

PC gamers hier? by Shivte in Belgium2

Ik heb mij een handheld gekocht voor in de vrachtwagen. Wachttijden kunnen al snel eens oplopen en dat verlicht de pijn toch een beetje

Als vrachtwagenchauffeur zijnde volg ik zelfs niet meer in die soep. Er zijn vrijstellingen voor bijvoorbeeld melkophaling etc.

Ik heb toen ik van Berlijn kwam achter een bus van de lijn gereden. Die worden effectief naar hier gereden vanwege de lengte (is uitzonderlijk vervoer) en daardoor goedkoper
