There are plenty of fantastic benefits to being a truck driver (especially at Prime!) One advantage many drivers find intriguing is the opportunity to see the world around them during their workday. Instead of looking at a computer screen in a cubicle, they’re able to experience the view of bright foliage, fields of flowers and corn, mountains, sunsets and sunrises, lakes, and more. What a way to spend a day on the job!
Autumn is a wonderful time of year — the air is brisk and the leaves turn to deep reds, golds, and browns. With that in mind, Prime decided it would be fun to feature spectacular fall scenic roads across the U.S. (note: these aren’t particularly truck driving routes).
