What is your favorite thing about driving a truck?

Was Truckstops of Amercia, about 10 years back it changed to Travelcenters of Amercia.

 

OP is a dude.

 

Best part for me anymore, going home.

 

Well I would say my favorite ting about trucking is the same thing that got me into trucking 35 years ago.

It is the feeling I get when I roll out of the rack in the morning and hear that cat engine fire up.
It is the sight of a sunrise when I top out on a hill in the smokey mountains and see the fog down in the bottoms.
The sunset over the snow covered mountains in Montana .
The fresh planted cornfields in Iowa in the spring smelling the fresh turned dirt .
Dropping off Cabbage and listening to the Jakes rattle all the way down.
A full moon night rolling across south Texas .
Dropping off the hill into Vegas on a clear night and seeing all the lights still makes me smile .

I could go on for hours about my favorite things about trucking .
I love it today as much as I did the day I bought my first truck before I even knew how to drive it .
It still makes me smile when ever I push in the air valves and start my day .

It is not the same conditions that it was 35 years ago with the laws and all the other changes but the job is still the same .
I still am paid to get things from one place to another as quickly and safely as possible with no damage to person or property .

I am one truly blessed man that I can do the thing I love and make a good living doing it.

 

Uh, hate to speak for anyone else, but I believe brother Scott Was referring to YOU as being a "keeper"

Grateful Dead was the first rock concert that I worked as a Stagehand back in '84 at Alpine Valley in East Troy Wi.

 

That's one of my favorite venues ever...I grew up a few hours north of there, belonged to the concert club at alpine

 

WOW, where are you encountering those CRE drivers, usually I hear them singing rap music
