Yes brother,
But I would like to add that
Tho we can be brother or brudder in our one united trade of TD,
but on the road, we are challenging each other in a way, and the
relationship for relief and hirer can at time be damaged by fuel
and rental prices.
Therefore, in a long run, TD tends to become more inward
looking, and as a loner, they may end up embracing individualism
that ultimately link to more conservative thinking. Unllike other
job, like even my casket or ship repair job, we work as a team and
have more chances to freely communicate in a real brotherhood
term.
In my analysis of TD behavorial in SIngapore context, I
find that there is a lack of expression for TD, most of them so
wanted to talk but worry that they might be out of pace with the
society or that they might end up talking nonsensical issue, and
therefore choose to be silent, but when I open up a TD mind, he or
she will talk non stop, about his driving adventure to his family
issues, Taxi companies and all those fark up LTA rules. And you can
see the true expression of a TD, as a good listener, a conversation
with a TD is never a boring one.
And after a good conversation with them, you find they start to
smile again and really relaxing.
But then after the conversation, they go back to
drive again, and time is a factor to them and all the same old
forlorn style start again, as a TD myself, I find that we lack the
time to socialise, the time to engage ourself with friends and
gatherings, which is good for human as the nature required it.
