I'd say every 5th Lyft driver I ride with is a former long-haul or short-haul trucker. I think that speaks volumes about the costs-benefits analysis on driving a truck. Worthy of note - I have twice had truckers try to kill me. "Rage" (road or otherwise) never entered into it. In neither case did I ever so much as enter their lanes. I simply passed them, then found them attempting to run me over or run me off the road. One literally crossed three lanes of traffic so he could put me on the shoulder, and then try to push me into the dirt. This works because they can say "gee, officer, I didn't see him, you know, motorcycles, so small! And so zippy-aroundy! I guess what they say is true - they're 'murdercycles!' yuk yuk yuk!" Not saying all truckers are murderous psychopaths. But I've encountered enough that I cheer their profession's extinction.
