Document Summary

Be all the trucker you want to be! Ideal trucker: long hauls; so you can be on the road for a long time without stopping, good leads; not carrying smelly products that you have to explain, mix of sense and courage. Petrohaul and agrihaul had good turnover levels compared to sandhaul. Why: the individuals perceived or in reality could live the way they originally thought their life to be. Part of why it is seen as good intrinsically is because they feel that they are doing some noble important work. But this intrinsic value is somewhat challenged when the work is routinized and limited: what would kill trucking is if it is seen to be too easy. The emphasis by owners and manager on driver behaviours associated with profit and organizational functioning in part fill the void created by drivers own uncertainty about their driving skills: job skills versus work skills.
