Think trucking looks easy? Try getting behind the wheel. 🚛
During Driver Appreciation Week, we had the opportunity to put our office staff to the test on the Arkansas Road Team Truck Driving Simulator.
Going into it, quite a few of us thought we would do pretty well. Coming out of it… we had been humbled. 😂 Very few scored a perfect 100, and some of those scores were a little lower than anyone expected!
But that was exactly the point.
We wanted our staff to get even a small glimpse into what our professional drivers experience behind the wheel every day. The focus, awareness, quick decision-making, patience, and skill it takes to safely operate a truck is something most people never truly understand until they experience it for themselves.
And this was only a simulator. Our drivers do the real thing every single day, for thousands of miles, while spending days and weeks away from their families to keep America moving.
We already knew our drivers were pretty incredible, but this experience gave us an even greater appreciation for what they do. ❤️🚛
To every professional driver out there, we see you, we appreciate you, and we have a whole new respect for the view from your seat.
Thank you to the Arkansas Road Team for helping us walk a few miles (or at least drive a few simulated ones 😉) in our drivers’ shoes!
