Anyone who actually has experience with 18 wheelers knew this was never going to work. A lot of my extended family own or operate big rigs. I have been along for a few rides, and it is shocking the amount of focused multi tasking it takes to operate one of those leviathans. I rode for a week with an uncle in in my early 20's, I was lost in life and thought maybe being a truck driver would be a good choice.

In a single week I witnessed, multiple near fatal collision's that had my uncle not been 100% locked in to the road he would have caused. Everything from people texting on the highway at 70+ miles, a person almost crossed 4 lanes of traffic to not miss an exit, and they were applying make up at the same time, people cutting in front him with literal inches away, people don't understand the sheer weight of these vehicles and can't comprehend why they can't break like they do. Funny enough, he preferred the highways vs normal roads. Highway traffic was somewhat predictable even with all of the insane issues, but normal roads ? Try moving an 18 wheeler through a residential neighborhood (yes hn this was the only way) or pull out of a Wallmart, those were those most dangerous maneuvers.
