Finally, he bought his own used truck that was a 2012 model and was driven for only 600,000 km. Thereafter, he established a successful career for himself. He drives the truck in the local area and not on long hauls. This is due to the fact that he has his family that he has to take care of. He mentions that for the bachelor, long trips make more sense where they have to be on the road for weeks on end. In those scenarios, the salaries are even more attractive.
