    I’m a truck driver for the dairy industry and pick up milk from dairy farms. Sound is incredibly important as I need to listen to the pump on my truck for anything wrong or I could burn it out and send shit into my trailer. I also need to listen for when the tanks is empty as it can make a soft noise to tell me it’s time to pull the hose.

    I can’t listen to music. I can’t listen to things with headphones. I need to be alert and at the ready in case anything goes wrong. So most of my time waiting is just spent scrolling Lemmy because I can just kill my phone and put in my pocket in an instant if something goes awry or when the milk tank is empty.
