I have never met a stranger in my life. Many friends who I wanted to know more about.
I am on the other end of trucking these days. Most of my friends have gone to desk jobs or are driving trucker 209 these days.
I have driven every thing possible I think. At least close to it. Tankers, flatbeds, vans, reefers, portable barn yards, and oversized loads. Doubles, triples and hauled uranium, and other hazardous units. TenXfour's and fiveXfour's, thirteens, ten, eights, and eighteens. Marmons, Peterbilts, Volvos, Kenworths, and Fords. All said and done. Just another truck driver with a few decades of experience and still learning and forgetting.
Hard to slow the motor down when your use to cutting the wind and listening to the whistle of it. But trying to gradually exit this business, but figure time will take care of itself.
Who knows, maybe I will find a friend or two here or can be a friend to someone. Can never have to many friends. Even if they walk up and say, "Do you remember me?" Good times.
