    I thank y'all very much for giving me a little more insight. I know y'all say it's "nothing" or "it's easy", but some of the horror stories I've seen and/or heard make me think it's not as easy as someone from the outside might assume. Y'all are of a special breed - keep rockin'!

    DOT b/s isn't much worse than corp. but at least they aren't looking over my shoulder, literally. lol

    I just like to ride around and stare out the windsheild.

    The best part of trucking is killing the thing climbing out and going home... That is what everyone is working for.. When we leave home we have 1 important goal.. that is to make it back home safely.. So the going home part.. The driving is what it is... The freedom as one driver said.. Is evaporating faster everyday..
     
    WV_Daddys_Girl and 48Packard Thank this.

    i wonder if we all lose that freedom

    the freedom to drive when we want, sleep when we want, eat when we want, stop and fish or do whatever else we like to do, without anyone watching us or monitoring us or telling us to go to bed, or drive, or watching us on a camera, will it still be fun? will we still enjoy it?

    or will it basically become a ball and chain? pure drudgery to pay bills

    seems like many of us have given up and are looking forward to the drudgery, the wonders of being on a camera, being told when to eat, sleep and drive

    we even brag about how much more money we make

    two completely opposing aspects of driving a truck
