I guess my first post should be ALL ABOUT ME! Now that sounds good

Married to a guy that was NOT a trucker when I first met him although he was in the delivery business at the time. Later he went from vans to 18 wheelers. He's never wanted to be OTR, loves his home life too much.

I've spent my years raising my two children, a girl and a boy. They are grown and out on their own now having grandbabies!...

It was old for that time's standards. It also broke down. I was in a small caravan of vehicles headed together to the same destination. A large hole had somehow formed in the metal tube that was going off the engine to feed to the radiator hose that attached to it. ...

Smoke - LOTS of it!

In my early years of trucking, I can honestly say that I was probably one of the dumbest drivers on the road. Check your sides? What the bleep is that? I was a missionary. I had not gone to the mission field to become a truck driver - the thought had never entered my mind.
But that's what I ended up doing - between driving trucks, fixing trucks and taking supplies across the border, I was a very busy person.
Well, there was this one particular trip I made. I was sent from El Paso...
