    I've been out here since 1996 off and on, both local and ot. I like otr better, less stress and more variety in places to see and go. My kids were 10 and 12 when I started. I went local while they both were in high school and was home daily. I think that helped the family life be more balanced. The teenage years you dont want to miss, thats when they are influenced by friends good and bad. Im now thinking of taking my wife with me the next few years till the economy improves..but its all good as you make it. Now Im on 6 western and get by the house weekly. Get a bike and lounge chair for your truck, lots of waiting and you need to stay in shape.

    That would be a nice gesture.
    I doubt anyone has ever thought to get their Big truck a bike and a lounge chair. But you didn't mention how a Big truck truck driver can stay in shape while doin' lots of weighting. :biggrin_25525:

    How's the weather up thar, high in the desert, neighbor? :biggrin_255:



    ShuX HowdY, Teddy.
    In a year we expect to have already read your play-by-play accounting of Truckin' School, and your time with a trainer. All passed with flyin' colors, you're then a rookie.
    Remember us?
    Don't forget to write us, ----- for another year.
