Hello to anyone who isnt settin in a Desk Chair. You know the cab of a truck to many is our home. We eat, sleep, laugh and yes even worry. I have been in this game for awhile and for some untold reason I still love it. Maybe its the games we play with dispatchers. There are many reasons why we put ourselves through this everyday. There are many different reasons why each and everyone of us has fell in love with driveing and as well have found it to just be the idol of our hate . This career we have chosen has its good days and its bad days. But we still get up every morning looking for another load. Or to deliver on time the one we have. Why? We all have loved ones at the house that depend on it. Or at the very least a pile of bills. We all have alot in common. Yet we are all so different.

I keep hearing older drivers talk about the way it used to be. How when if they did not have a cb they would turn down there antenna. That would let other drivers know they had no radio. Or how they would all stop for a stranded driver just to help out out of kindness. Or how they had to ride in a spring ride truck with a fold out canvase sleeper. The older drivers have seen the good and the bad of the industry we are just now takeing part in. I have been out here 15yrs. that is a drop in the bucket to drivers whom have doubled and tripled that.

If you think this is a stupid blog I am sorry. But, I just wanted to say something about our industry. That is this, I like my job heck i'll go one step further and say I like my co workers to. I am not treated any different then any one else. If any one needs help I will try to help. Kindness people we care about the people we serve every day or we just would not do it.

Drivers play safe, keep the shiney side up and may y'all have a blessed day. TY for reading this.
