Anybody else addicted to the road?

I think I was at least partially addicted to work (fully recovered now)... but I think the human brain still has some nomad/tribal wanderer hardwired into it. "The road" seems to tend to get into the blood of many.

 

AFTERSHOCK that was a #### good post i smiled the whole way through it!!! I can home because im going on vacation and ill i can think is, but i wanna go back to work I dont wanna leave my truck can we take it with us.

IN reality trucking aint work at all. I own my truck and its set up like home away from home i have more groceries in the truck than the house i only really come home to make sure my ole brother is feeding my cat and to pick up my mail.

"Do not ever leave the home-20 to go back on the road after takin' y'all's off time, with unresolved issues left behind"
^^^ that line is so true my first time otr was miserable i spent 6 months running regional and i had relationship issues along with financial problems and being otr just made them waaaay worse. Now that im back in my own problem is do i run at 60 or 65 do i wanna run one more load or sleep today.

 

Pee bottle full eh?

 

I tossed it out at the last truck stop lol

 

I don't think they can make movies that outrageous anymore.

Watched it open on Broadway from the sound-booth at radio-city.

 

Definitely addicted to the road, been out 4 months and i sure dont care for days off much! I only care to see the abundance of scenery in the states i love😀

 

From '92-'94 I was gone almost 12 months at a time. Single, young, came home for Christmas. Addicted? yeah.....times change, responsibilities change.....now i'm gone a week at a time usually...once in awhile more than that if I have a SUPER load or are going to a show or visiting friends. Home 2 days and gone again. I look forward to getting home....and hate leaving for about 2 hours. After that; the insulation of the road folds back over me.....and all is well. If this is what you were born to do.......why view it as an addiction?
