51. I deal with truckers on an almost daily basis
and quite frankly, I haven't met too many who aren't bigoted in one way or another. See, I have a theory about some truckers, that is that they are too damn lazy to actually get a job where they have to actually do some physical labor, so they just want to drive all day and all night. That being said, it's a good thing we have trucks in America. Goods need to be moved from one place to another somehow and trucks are certainly the way to do it, at least partially.
I am not college educated, just a working stiff who is trying to make it in the world. And truckers are too, except, like I said, a lot of them probably either can't or won't find other jobs which require work. One more thing, a lot of them I deal with are always in a hurry. Now these guys have dedicated routes and do not get paid by the mile, so they need to relax and take it easy. In fact, one guy pissed me off so bad that I deliberately waited to load him, just so I could upset him more. Now he waits his turn and says nothing.
