Challenges of driving

I'm hoping to gain some insight into truck driving, and am posting on behalf of my boyfriend.

He is very close to getting his one year of experience, and usually has "okay" days. Once in a while he has a day that breaks him, a day where he does not want to go on, wants to quit. These are days where drastic things happen - ignorant car drivers that almost cause accidents, hitting construction and ending up in a subdivision at 5 am (in PQ!)

Some of these cause him to be concerned for his safety, and rightly so. But I am coming here because I am seeking advice for him from experienced drivers that understand the challenges.

His driving allows him to see me more than ever before (we were in a long distance relationship) and neither of us really want him to stop driving.

For those of you that have driven for 5, 10, 15 years - does it get easier? are there words of wisdom you can offer? what do you tell yourself on those horrible, stressful days?
