What is your favorite thing about driving a truck?

Ohh Man!!!

 

Oh... how bout that feeling you get when you come out of the woods and step back out on the big road after two stepping round an open one.

Or... when she starts to rattle and shake and you swear it's gunna come apart... but you push through and mext thing you know, quiet as a coffin and smooth as glass.

Whatcha know bout that

 

Not punching a clock

 

I did it for the money,,,,,
Seriously though, one of the best things about trucking, was delivering( or picking up) somewhere, and the people were jerks, it was so nice to be able to leave and not deal with that everyday. And we're not all perverts. I took my daughter with me many times, and she loved it. ( and I think is a better driver today because of it)

 

LOL! I think ive seen you on the road! I enjoy pointing and laughing at other drivers who cant relax and get bent out of shape over every little thing!

 

The freedom, and to listen to the radio and podcasts when I normally used to not have time. Oh and that occasional "oh S", moment when you realize you have to make a perfect dock to not smash someone's truck. I like that feeling and that challenge.

 

Being alone.

 

Dang scottie, now that they know you were in the marines you're getting lots of "Likes".

 

Great thread.

Thanks for starting it, reverber8; thanks for all the responses, everyone.
