Not special, but lucky ( and luck can change )...and certainly not resentful. Just an opinion.

I don't really see too many of us here "killing" ourselves. So, I guess we are really smart enough...smart enough to work our asses off for a fairly decent wage, smart enough to not have to be away from home for endless weeks at a time, smart enough to have a very decent standard of living and not work for pennies on the mile and to get paid for every moment that we breathe near our trucks, smart enough to not fritter away our time at truck stops ( maybe that's why we don't have too many of those ), smart enough to acquire some driving skills that would make some of your jaws drop, and smart enough to love and enjoy every moment of it and wait impatiently to get back into the truck the next day.
That's the magic of black gold !!

Was just stating facts. Your above statement makes you sound like an embarassment to yourself, which one sincerely hopes that you are not. You live in a supposedly great country, so try to make the most of that privilege by expanding your mind and being open-minded to certain facts from other parts of the world, instead of making such ludicrous and petulant statements. I hope you're not going to start pouting, and throw a tantrum next. Grow up !!

That's the magic of black gold !! You almost never see an Alberta based truck in the ditch or in a wreck here...that is unless he's been unlucky enough to tangle with a 4 wheeler that did something stupid or a moose. I would venture a guess that over 90% of the trucks who get into trouble here are from out of province... Now don't get me wrong...I'm not talking about ALL Alberta based trucks...cause there's sure lots of idiots in trucks that run OUT of here...we have VERY low taxes, so alot of companies take advantage of that & plate their trucks from here. I'm talking about trucks that ONLY run in Alberta.
