Would you be a long distance driver in real life?

Since everyone one here enjoys ETS2 (I think) I was wondering whether anyone would want to be a trucker or not.
I wouldn't be a trucker.

Last birthday, my girlfriend gave me a truck driving lesson as a gift. I really enjoyed it, it was an amazing experience.
And, according to the teacher, I've got talent for the job.

But, I already have a job. So for now, I won't become a trucker. Maybe in the future I will though. :)

Some say, I'm addicted to ETS2. But then I say. No, it's ProMods, it's a way of life.

Hi,

I like ETS2 to play but I wouldn't like to become a real-life trucker.
In game everything is easy - everytime you get a parking spot at the first try, have enough time to make some extra stops on the tour and so on.

Best regards,

Yes, maybe when you are a bit older you could become a long distance driver and drive all around Europe.

Edit:Also what was the typo? Just wondering.

Yeah, I indeed may do so one day. Navigating around Europe should be easy now. Thanks to ProMods!

Well, you wrote ERS2, instead of ETS2. That was all.

8 hrs is about my limit in a vehicle, even that much gives my sciatic nerves something to bark about.

I'm already a long distance driver in real life. I wish I lived closed near the office.. Especially with rushhour traffic!
