As a trucker in the USA, I work 60-70 hour weeks.

That’s 5 days of varying anywhere from 12-14 hr shifts with one 16 hour shift a week.
(Most guys spend their time off in their truck at work I go home) 

I don’t complain a lot but I miss having a life, I miss seeing my family, I miss seeing people &amp; hearing their stories.

Reddit you guys are legit like my community of friends because of this job Lol

Thats legitimately depressing to hear when I feel tired of working just 40 hours a week and feeling like I'm not maintaining a life/work balance. What keeps you going? Surely there isn't much light at the end of the tunnel if its the social norm? I know people here who have worked similar hours briefly for extreme circumstances such as having a child etc but not just a normal thing.
