The destruction of your personal life. You will look back 5 years later and say why did I do that

Unless your single you are going to sacrifice a lot for this job
Paddlewagon, stwik, Lav-25 and 1 other person Thank this. -

Maybe it's personal weakness, or my life before I started trucking. I dunno.... trucks paid off at the end of summer. So it wasn't unsuccessful . This is my second truck. But being away from your life for 3 weeks at a time ain't no way to live.
Odin's Rabid Dog, Paddlewagon, Jazz1 and 2 others Thank this. -
I tweaked things. Tried different stuff, but being away or absent from your life can cause an erosion of your social structure. That's what happened. I'd rather not continue down that path. So 2012 Volvo for sale. Lol

I'll never forget my first Christmas eve. Stopping for gas to go home. On the cb. Some dude wanted to surprise his family. The wife and kids had no idea he was coming home. MIddle of the night. They're all asleep. He showers and crawls in to bed. Puts his clothes back on and took his truck to the truckstop. Where he had been camped since.
This happened 2 days earlier.
Not many women can handle being in bed alone. They need company. And i guess the dog wasn't good enough. -
Try this. Call a friend and ask them to throw a dart at a map on the wall. wherever the dart lands you jump in your car and drive there. After 10.75 hrs park and eat at chubby chicken, Denny’s or iron skillet. Then sleep on the back seat of your car. call your friend in the morning and get him to throw another dart. Bored yet? Now repeat that for 3 weeks to 3 months. That’s the best it gets and it’s usually much worse because you can park wherever you want and haven’t dealt with a shipper yetOdin's Rabid Dog, Paddlewagon, Grubby and 4 others Thank this.
