Well in my driving experience It is easy to point out all the idiots that can drive better than a CDL licensed driver and most of them drive 3 mile to the store in an Escort, but if ya get in their way they will definitely tell you how bad you are doing. and not necessarily verbal.
(There would be less of these kind of people if the State required you drive one for a month before ya get a license.)
Ya don't want to end up in the wrong side of town certain times of the day when ya miss your turn off. (some places easily done and nowhere to turn)
Rush hour around cities are the worst lasting up to 3 hours.
When I was a Kid growing up in farm land all I wanted to do was drive a truck. Last 10 years of having to I wished I never saw the inside of one.
Burnt out to the point I wasn't safe to be on the road, but age defied me for other challenges.

Took a trip last year on an Interstate trucks will blow ya off the road now, Can't really blame the driver he is just tired of watching his kids grow up on pictures on his visor.

Then ya got the creeper cops and the paper boys wanting to give those free inspections.
Only way to do it -- No kids-- Wife drive as a team with ya -- and go on a lifelong vacation.
There are some good points --- I just can't think of any off hand .
