I use to drive a truck and not only an 180wheeler but also was a "Hotshot". I have around 250,000 miles comercial driving under my belt. I am in the Marine Corp now and just wish I was still running a truck right now. I think that some driver are nasty! You on here know what I am talking about when you go into a fuel stop and you just catch a whiff of the guy in front of you in line waiting for your reciept and he smells like he hasnt taken a shower in about a week. Some are nasty but then you have the nice neat and considerate drivers. I have been yelled at and had drivers complain about me all the time because I am young and I worked for Prime for a little while in my trucking carrer. But yet I was able to out drive them and also back up into anywhere better then a lot of guys who bitched about me. I just want to say about everybody does not know what it takes to drive a truck and get your CDL, and how hard of a life that it is being a profesional driver. I just want to thank all of you out there for putting up with the cocky drivers who think there the best and also the 4-wheelers out there that dont take into consideration that we are trying to make a living. I cant wait to be back out there with all of you drivers.

After you have been driving for as long as I have, you ignore alot of that stuff out there and go about your business.

I don't give a thought as to who is the best driver, I don't even care.

Iam out there to do my job, and only my job.

Yes, I can relate however to some of the truckers out there needing a shower. Sometimes you gotta just put yourself first and get cleaned up.

I find that a good hot shower makes me feel better and wakes my brain up a little and I have a much clearer attitude.

Trucking is a tough life no doubt and it ain't getting any easier either.
