    I had a kid fall asleep and come over to hit me head-on on the 2 lane. I was cleared by 3 investigations.

    I live in a small city where there are not much jobs. Where should I move to in order to get a local truck driving job?

    Would truck driving be considered a low-stress job?

    If you know what you know now, would you go for any other job?

    Jump in your house and drive it like you stole it while everyone around you drives the same and the cops try to nail you for it. That pretty much sums up truck driving.

    :biggrin_25511:Truck driving is a serious business. At age 20, you have already demonstrated that you are not too serious about driving. So, you just want to hang around a Pilot/Loves/J on Sundays, why is that?:biggrin_25511:
