[p] There are nearly 30,000 trucking related locations and 270,000 truck parking spots on the Trucker Path app. It may seem like a lot but new locations for truckers are built and smaller, lesser-known locations like family-run truck stops may slip through the cracks. No matter the size of the location it has a place in our database for truck drivers to access reliable information about. [/p]

Misconceptions of Truck Drivers
[p]The misconceptions you hear from 4-wheelers [a href="https://app.appsflyer.com/com.sixdays.truckerpath?pid=Social Facebook"]about truck drivers[/a] can be laughable and frankly, absurd. At Trucker Path, we like to refer to these misconceptions of truck drivers as “Tales of an Uninformed 4-Wheeler”. Some are so crazy that all you can do is laugh at them.[/p]
[h2]Tales of an Uninformed 4-Wheeler – Volume 1[/h2]
[p]Sometimes 4-wheelers just don't understand what it's like being a truck driver. Trucking requires learning an all new set of laws, regulations and the skill to drive an enormous big rig in some of the tightest spaces. It's unlike any other career.[/p]
[img src="https://truckerpath.com/uploads/2017/01/McD-Pay-me.jpg" alt=""]
[p][b]Why do trucks pass each other on the highway?[/b][/p]
[p]You hear this all the time. A 4-wheeler gets stuck behind a truck for a few seconds while the truck driver passes another big rig. There are several factors that play into this. It's partly because some trucks are governed at a certain speed (some 60 mph) and some are governed at a higher mph or not at all. Also, some trucks carry much heavier loads than others. An incline in the road can also factor into this occurrence as some trucks hauling cargo uphill struggle to even go 50 mph. Due to this, some truck drivers have no choice but to pass a slower or heavier truck but at times, can only go a certain speed to pass.[/p]
[p]Now the Department of Transportation has proposed a speed limiter for all commercial trucks weighing over 26,000 pounds. If the proposed truck speed limiters mandate passes, you will see a dramatic increase in this “inconvenient truck passing”.[/p]
[img src="https://truckerpath.com/uploads/2017/01/Speed-limiters-traffic.jpg" alt=""]
[p]Then there are some 4-wheelers who think trucks are an inconvenience on the road altogether. Not only do truck drivers deliver 80 percent of all cargo in America, but they are used for disaster relief and various other tasks to make life easier for 4-wheelers.[/p]
[img src="https://truckerpath.com/uploads/2017/01/snow-plow-2.jpg" alt=""]
[p]Or the ones who think driving a truck is a simple job because all truck drivers have to do is sit in a chair.[/p]
[img src="https://truckerpath.com/uploads/2017/01/I-have-skills-TAKEN.jpg" alt=""]
[p]Did we forget to mention that [a href="https://truckerpath.com/blog/trucks-delivering-cargo-in-the-usa/"]driving a truck is the deadliest job in America[/a]. In 2015, there were 745 truck driver fatalities, more than any other.[/p]

[p]It's time we debunk the myths about truck drivers. Don't like trucks? Better rethink that one. Without truck drivers, shelves would be full of dust within a few days.[/p]
