    I don't think I'm anti-social, just like working alone.

    I love the dedicated, home every night, weekends off, no micromanagement, bosses who were drivers work I'm doing now....don't miss OTR, well maybe sometimes...a little. Nice to enjoy life and the kids like a regular sorta person.

    Yea, they're out there. For the most part I avoid truck stops like the plague, ESPECIALLY the lounges. I stop only at a truck stop to fuel and I'm in and out in a flash. Depending on the food I may (and this is a HUGE "may") purchase something but usually I'm gone after filling up. I'm one of those "loners" and I really keep to myself unless it's to help out another driver in a jam.
