Psychological Isolation as a Business Model

Long hours alone aren’t just a side effect of trucking—they’re often built into the structure of the job. This episode examines how isolation becomes normalized, how endurance gets mistaken for resilience, and what sustained solitude does to mental health over time. When distance is measured in miles but connection isn’t measured at all, the cost shows up quietly—in mood, sleep, focus, and identity. A grounded look at the human side of a system built for efficiency.
