Just skimed through this and as newmercman and pat hasler know I spent a lot of time in freightliner dealers.
From what I can see most us based truckers roam round and round a bit like the flip flops do here.
Many will be away for 4-6 weeks and seem content with a couple of days home.
I know people rattle on about the states but from what I saw life for most working class folks was way worse than the UK.
Canada is very different and seems a good compromise to the good bits of the states but a bit of more liberal European thinking.
Also as it’s still a dominion you can still get a lot of British goodies and the people are great.
