    I was with ya til you said "ice" lol Once I find ice, I find a place to park lol Already seen what happens when you take a big truck n add ice. Big truck+ice= wreck. Its not a good feeling slidding down the road... Snow doesnt bother me as much lol

    Welcome to the road, Jet. I'm here to remind all you guys (except that cat carryin' dude) what it feels like to be the one at home. We worry every day you are out there. You can see what's in front of you (mostly). We can't. Until we get that call sayin' "I'm here, baby," we will worry. Got kids? They worry, too. Sure, we get on with our lives, we got stuff to do, too. But there, in the back of our minds is "what if he's the one on the news today?" Especially when we see, on average, 1 nasty wreck per day.

    JCW's Priority List: 1. Make it HOME safely. 2. Get the load there ON TIME and LEGALLY. 3. Everything else.

    And of course, my smart behinded self must say....he probably has less work to do out on the road. Fix the car. Fix the fence. Move the animals 100 miles. Sometimes I wonder why he comes home! (Kidding...he comes here to EAT.)
     
    jet70 Thanks this.

    You're important. But you priorities are different, LOL. 1. Make sure I can always feed my buddy. 2. Get the load there SAFELY and LEGALLY. 3...

    You sound just like my wife. I'm not sure what I'd do without her support. Thank you for the welcome.

    Just finished my first 2 hours of driving under load. I loved it! Even when I went through 10 miles of one lane construction with concrete barriers on both sides.
