Pretty accurate,

now,

let's wait for the experts to tear it apart.......

Wow, good story, I'm really surprised to see it.

Jeezuz, don't read the comments, though, unless you want to get really depressed. Whole lotta hate for trucks!

People truly are hateful.

Good story, but nobody cares....

Wow, reality in a newspaper!

But if only I could get home every 10 days, lots of us are out here for much longer periods of time in order to be more profitable.

I know that be true. I met guys that hadn't been home in over a month. That's partly why I got out of it. I was not willing to live in a truck the rest of my life, esp for the meat-grinder company I was with. I have a family for a reason. Much as I liked you guys(most of you), you ain't it.

It's not personal.

Interesting article from The Minneapolis Star Tribune. Most interesting are the on-line "comments" that followed the posting.

That was an excellent article, but of course you have the ***holes who just still dont get it commenting on it...

Yeah, read the comments. All the speeding, tailgating, no turn signal 4 wheelers think what a truck driver is doing wrong. They don't even think about their own bad habits.

Things will never change in this world that is in a hurry. Something about an engine and 4 tires has a psycological impact on one's mentality.
