Was struggling to back in a tight spot in the dark in front of a truck stop repair shop about a month ago. Was probably the worst week I had in my first couple months of trucking and that was right at the end of the worst day I had .
Well anyway this old veteran trucker got out of his truck and helped me back in . Went in repair shop with him and had long conversation with him and 2 other veteran Truckers there. Alot of stories and advice was great. And at the end he gave me this rand McNally trucking GPS that I could never afford with the paychecks I was getting at the time . One hell of a turnaround and helped me stay alot more positive mentally after that.
What has been your best experience on the road?

My wife and I have had some good times on the road. We would usually have to take one reset a week, and often would rent a car for the day and see the sights if we were somewhere interesting. (Enterprise picks you up!)
We went to the Grand Canyon, Mt Rainier, Seattle, DC, Chicago, Rocky Mountain NP...and a bunch of other places in between. We did the NYC several times as well...we would park at the Lombardi travel plaza and walk across to the express bus parking lot. We even managed to be there for the July 4th fireworks, even though it rained.
We have a cushy dedicated air mail route now, where we have 3 day weekends, so that was pretty exciting news when we landed this job too.meechyaboy, D.Tibbitt, 650cat425 and 1 other person Thank this.
