I understand what you are saying, and your advice is appreciated. I do understand that I will be seeing the nation from out of a window.....when I am driving. In fact, most of my focus will be on the road ahead of me and in my mirrors checking behind and around me. In city traffic, I should have all of my focus on driving. Only someone naive would think otherwise. Let me clarify. I don't have nor want at this time a home to be tied down to. Im 58, no kids and divorced, and I don't mind solitude in the least. As for family, I have only a brother and one nephew left. I am a twenty year vet, spent in the air and ground transportation area. I want to experience life on the road. I have been to the dirty truck stops and interviewed drivers. I have unloaded and loaded many trucks. Anyway, I know a bit about the industry already. One thing that makes Swift attractive to me as a starter company is that they are so large, they have terminals in over thirty cities around the US. Therefore, when I request time off after six weeks or longer on the road, I can request one of the areas near a terminal, and should have little trouble being routed. I will rent a car to see the sites in that area. I intend to experience the entire country in this manner, with the little three or four day mini vacations the days off will provide.

One time I had to run Hwy. 20 across the finger lakes area; slow going but loved it, so beautiful.
Another time I had to deliver a huge gear (flatbed), to a ski resort up there somewhere. Didn't want to leave it was so nice and the people were so nice. The gear was for a ski lift. -
