Personal Narrative: A Career As A Commercial Truck Driver

In my family it’s just my father who works. My father work as a commercial truck driver. His loads for usually from Oregon, USA to BC, Canada. My father makes around $50,000 to $70,000 yearly. The income didn’t change the loads are still the same price since 2005, but the diesel and expressive of driving the truck did. Also the repairs of the truck has effect on the income. So the final income what my father is getting is decreeing slowly. My father said that trucker were making way more than what they do now. This explains why America is shortage of truck drivers. In 2013 there was 30k, in 2014, 38k, and last year 2015 was 48k shortage of truck drivers.
