\n* Are you crazy? I would never be a truck driver.* So far so good. Nobody has raked me over the coals
\nyet.* [Other drivers] have been really fun to talk to
\nand get to hear about their personal lives a little bit.* This is not the same Nussbaum technology wise as
\nit was 10, 15 years ago.* Whether you\u2019ve been driving a year or 20 years,
\nthere\u2019s never a day where we stop learning.* I\u2019m a very competitive person so I try to beat [my
\nown scores] every month.* When I was 4 years old, I definitely did NOT
\ntell my mom I wanted to be a truck driver.* I learned in a 10-speed manual transmission, \u2018older
\nthan dirt,\u2019 truck.* Be excellent. Be Kind. Kindness is free.
