Take it from an ex-PSV/HGV driver that you should consult the appropriate medical fraternity to check on your sanity. The reasons I gave in are:-
Long hours with finishes in the middle of nowhere
(there were some compensations - female company and beer).
Changing road conditions - Roads being narrowed, traffic lights being re-timed to ensure a load of reds (not the Commies).
Higher and higher volumes of traffic and the associated idiots!
I would be appolectic with "smart" motorways!
Pay was good for a free batchelor but I blame Tony Blair, he wanted everyone to go to University (well....50%) and of course it is human nature for the elite to look down on the jobs that are needed to be filled but are beneath them.

They have power steering and gearboxes now - nice
