I have actually looked at a CDL out of curiosity. I can't imagine not getting a CDL right now because of automation. I think this is a much harder problem than it seems at the edges, especially in poor winter conditions. Most people would get sick of trucking before they are automated to the unemployment line.

The bigger issue really is that trucking is a bad deal. Super dangerous job that doesn't pay much of anything for the hours worked while your health is basically destroyed from sitting.

Stories from new big rig drivers are pretty terrifying. It sounds like the first year is spent hoping everyday that you don't kill someone as you learn to handle this 80,000lb monstrosity.
