what do you like about driving?

Freedom and NO BOSS breathing down my neck as long as I am on time for everything and safe! No stupid office politics. The few times I have tried to come off the road and do "something else", these two things have put me back in the truck - not to mention this last time that I was not making any money in the cab business! I love our country and seeing it go by. I have driven a truck in all 48 lower states, and two Canadian Provinces (Quebec and, of course, Ontario). We have a beautiful country. I, too, enjoy driving across Nebraska and imagining 12 miles a day in a wagon train, and how welcome Chimney Rock must have been. As a historian, I love seeing places, battlefields, etc. that I have studied about. There is a certain feeling driving through the Gettysburg Battlefield on US30 in PA - especially since I know my great grandfather fought there. Then, I see a sign for a battle I have never heard of, and I get to look it up online at the end of the day.

 

The things I love about trucking is knowing the man I love is sleeping like a baby in the sleeper while I'm having fun driving down the road making money ! He and I have had such a wonderful life together driving team ! Nothing could of made us closer than being side by side for over 30 years ! He's ill right now and the thought of him never comming home is the roughest road I have ever had to hold ! I love trucking with my Honey !

 

Best of luck to you guys GQ

Why I love to drive?

Only job where you START in the corner office!

 

I love to drive because theres noone standing over me and I get see different things. I dont have some jerk in my face all the time. The problem with driving truck is to me its addicting. I tried to retire from it but going back next week.

 

I used to like it for many, many years, but now, at my age, I dont want to do this anymore. The new drivers out there are dangerous. Everyday I see these kids driving a truck, and can not keep the #### thing in there lane. Always drifting, probably on there phone texting. Most of them ARE speeding, driving like a wannabie. Another thing, acting STUPID on the CB, which I no longer listen too.
