I have fond memories of my dad as a truck driver.
I admire truck drivers, they have a harder job than people realize.
I agree.  My dad drove for about 40 years, but then, it was all manual, not computerized like now.
My mother used to work at a Truck Stop for 20 years until they closed it down.
It's rare to see truck stops these days
It was a traditional truck stop and diner called Smokey Valley until they closed it down.
