The long hauls almost killed my uncle. He was driving road trains full of fuel out the back of nowhere. Now he's 65 and the long hours/hard work/speed (amphetimines, that is.) have fucked him up bad. He can't even drive his car for much longer than an hour these days.
He rolled a tanker of vegetable oil once and almost drowned in the oil. Fucked his back in the smash, too.
On a lighter note, driving the truck was what I liked most about being a roadie. Driving through the night, smokin' cones that your mate packed for you. Doing lines while driving! - Put a straw to your nose and inhale while your mate moved the mirror.
Fuck me, it's a wonder I'm still alive!
