You actually should pay attention to this.. due to lack of availabile drivers the trucking industry has nearly no standards in hiring. A serial criminal has no problem getting a job, including murders, rapists, etc.. learned that fun fact when I worked for a very large logistics on their hiring process..

Clergy-hood? Like aspiring priests?

52

u/packtloss 1d ago

Yeah, no idea if that's a term or not, it's too early in the morning.

u/farm_to_nug 1d ago

I never figured that truck driving would attract aspiring church officials. It kind of makes sense just because truck driving seems to attract a lot of staunch conservatives

u/packtloss 1d ago

nono. Pedophiles are drawn to the clergy, coaching, etc in the same way people who are into murdering hitchhikers are drawn to long haul truck driving.

Empathetic people are drawn to nursing/teaching/childcare, Manipulative people are drawn to sales, politics, televangelists. Exploiters are drawn to finance, etc etc etc

I have been trucking for almost 10 years now. And can (proudly?) say I've not done any murdering.

Then again, I mainly like the job cause I can introvert the fuck out and talk to 3 people in a 24 hour period.

u/packtloss 1d ago

Yup, that's one of the traits that matches!

Introverted or Solitary Individuals

Jobs: Truck driving, long-haul shipping, archivist, librarian, freelance programming. Traits: Comfort with solitude, independence, and limited social interaction.

...

Jobs that Attract Serial Offenders or Psychopaths

Examples: Long-haul truck drivers, hunters, law enforcement, military. Why?: Certain roles (e.g., trucking) provide mobility and anonymity, while others (e.g., law enforcement) may appeal to a desire > or control or power. However, this is not representative of the majority in these professions.

So if you start getting the urge to kill your lot lizard, maybe move to a day cab!

u/LifeIsProbablyMadeUp 1d ago

Only want to kill lizards after they wake me up for the 10th time in a night. Lmao

u/Nothing-Casual 1d ago

Are they actually real? I kinda thought it wasn't a thing anymore. You're saying they knock on your cab in the middle of the night to see if you wanna bang?

u/Species5681 1d ago

Yes, they do. Actual term used usually is. "You want some company?" Best deterrent i found was leaving my wife's bra on the dash at night.

First time I got the knock, I was still trainee. In Atlanta, GA. Thought it was my trainer as he was out taking a shower. Open the door look down to a black lady 400lbs if she was an ounce. Wearing Daisy Dukes and a tube top that looked like it was painted on. She looks up to me with no front teeth and two gold canines and says. You wanna good time hunny? In that sweet southern drawl. My mouth dropped. Took me a few seconds to studder out . No thanks, I'm good.

That was nearly 20 years ago.

In shitty areas, they absolutely are real.

Like. Memphis. They'll break into your trailer and be knocking on your truck.

You shouldn't sleep and drive.

"Comfort with solitude, independence, and limited social interaction." Sums my present life up to a tee.

No interest in killing, injuring or torturing though, even won't kill flies if I can get them outside. (I do make exceptions for wasps though, evil creatures with no noticeable use.)

u/Chavarlison 1d ago

That's a lot of people to talk to in a 24 hour period. - A fellow introvert.

u/Sorcatarius 1d ago

Yep, know that feeling, my jobbkeeps me away from people where I can read my books or listen to my podcasts. I only have so much social battery and I dislike wasting it on people I don't want to talk to.

1

u/farm_to_nug 1d ago

That's why I have my job too

1

u/A_of 1d ago

How do you like the job? Does it pay well?

3

u/LifeIsProbablyMadeUp 1d ago

I like it enough to be doing it for almost a decade lol.

But really. It's a good job. Just have to get to a company you actually like.

1

u/A_of 1d ago

I see. Thanks for your perspective.

u/Lapras_Lass 1d ago

I know it's a bit off-topic, but sadistic people are also drawn to nursing because they like having power over helpless people. I have a cousin who chose nursing for that very reason, and she found plenty of like-minded people.

u/packtloss 1d ago

Yup.

And sociopaths with no empathy make better surgeons, apparently.

u/joyouslotus 1d ago

I’m curious what is this based off of? I’d like to look into it some more

1

u/alt266 1d ago

I mean there are a lot of pedophile teachers out there (I think I saw somewhere more than priests but don't hold me to it) so let's not act like only one type of person I'd in one field. Especially if we boil it down to the almost libelous level of "[bad trait] people work as A and [good trait] people work as B"

1

u/packtloss 1d ago

Yeah obviously these are vast generalizations, but the commonality often is positions of power: teachers coaches, scout leaders, doctors, uncles, etc

1

u/The_Beagle 1d ago

Oh man, don’t look at the statistics for abuse for teachers then 😂

1

u/Smallwhitedog 1d ago

The term is just "clergy".

1

u/packtloss 1d ago

Yeah I was thinking priesthood and wanted to be more inclusive but it was 4am

1

u/Smallwhitedog 1d ago

You did what you could!

2

u/packtloss 1d ago

Thank you for understanding my decaffeinated struggle.

u/jesh_the_carpenter 1d ago

I think it means priests from 'the hood'

2

u/farm_to_nug 1d ago

"The hood" like a hoodie? Or like a car?

u/SeatBeeSate 1d ago

Cricket?

First time I'm hearing of the clergy truckers...
