Pat, there are a lot of jobs now that people look down on .Take a supermarket worker. Years ago in your local co-op they would have been one of your neighbours probably, could maybe get things on 'tic, everyone knew everyone else. Nowadays if you work in a supermarket most customers treat you like scum and I am guessing that part of that is they have had a bad day and need to take it out on others.
But as has been mentioned, if you mention lorries to many folks, they will think of the long overtakes or the bullying. Very few realise that without them there would be no food on the table!
But reassure them, its not just lorry drivers that are disliked!
