On The Road

So, Doc has passed the final test and is now O-fficially and truck driver. I'm excited and happy for him, but miss him so.
The thing that gets me is this; his mentor was an awesome guy, meticulous etc and taught Doc a lotand really helped him out, but also liked his hometime. He lives in different state than us, so when he went home Doc had to go with him.....12 days all told that he got to spend with his family, and we got zilch. I mean, they were super nice to Doc, basically made him part...

Ok, Sorry for taking so long. I finally have my DOT physical. My DOT physical is good for two years. So, my next move is to let my friend teach me how to drive after he goes out and makes bookoo bucks.

A new life

On October 19 2008 my husband passed away unexpectedly. We were at a truck stop in Connecticut (New Haven), the "Flying J". It was a Sunday and we were on our down time. Around 12:30 in the afternoon we went to take our showers. For some reason I decided to shower first while he was shaving and finished my shower before he was done.

I have only driven truck 5 months total plus school. I got into it in 2006, needed a good paying job after becoming divorced. I had twin sons in college and I needed a good income and fast! A cousin of mine suggested I try trucking. Work is scarce in my area. He was an owner/operator, drove flatbed so I went out OTR with him a few weeks. I loved it! I then got a grant to go to truck driving school.

After graduating, I drove flatbed in winter for a month and a half, hauling steel coils....

Hello, life rolls on...who can stop it...sometimes I wish I had that stop watch in the movie 'The witch, the Lion, the Wardrobe'...you know...that watch that could stop time...

As far as opportunity, I went in for a second intview yesterday...time will tell...I've got companies that would hire me now if I were willing to spend lonely nights away from home with no one to talk to...

As bad as things...

Iam a truckdriver and sitting in meetings and classes wears me out !

So far so good, everyone has...

Farewell Ghostchild

Posted 08.03.2009 at 04.58 PM by longdayoff
Farewell my friend and good luck to you. I hope you can find something and someone in you life that's will make you see things in a better light.
We here are TRUCKER'S. Yes we sometimes have a hard day or two, Sometimes a whole week can go arye, But we keep on trucking.
Again I will tell you sir, I don't see all the hate that you see out here on the road. I find it rather easy to strike up a conversation with fellow trucker's at truck stops, resuarants,, shipping and recieving dock's,...
