They do not drive you anywhere. They *do* have a Krogers within walking distance (about 1/4 mile), a few restaurants and a Walmart (about 1 mile...
Thanks for the feedback driver. I'm looking forward to getting back out on the road. :)
As Chris said, mental health is pretty much a "what works for you" kind of deal. For me it comes down to a few basic things: 1) Perspective....
Not saying it's laziness...but it generally stems from not doing what you NEED to do. I'm a foodaholic. Put food on my plate and I have to eat...
I actually think that's a field that major fitness industries are really missing - get a trailer like they use for the trucker's chapels and have...
Stretching is really great but I'm going to take a wild stab that you haven't really tried yoga. It's primarily stretching various parts of the...
###### I did it again...see, this is why I'm going back out on the road instead of working where I'm at...place is drivin' me crazy...and if...

A typical day is impossible to describe. It changes constantly. Generally your trips start off with getting a load. First step is seeing where...
I'd agree that OTR is the only real count - local hauling just isn't the same. If you're not living in the truck, you're not livin' the life,...
Here's the process you need to go through if you really want to drive truck for a living. #1: Look at what you're wanting to do. If you have no...
That's a good point about insurance being the #1 reasoning behind it. Personally I prefer to think if I drove it, I earned it. However, I also...
Just a silly question but I wanted to ask and see what everyone else's opinion is... I've got prior driving experience, however it's over 3 years...
