    That is the problem... the worrying!

    There is no problem, til the one time that there is a problem.

    Back in training we left the truck to go get something to eat. We left the truck in an alley, where the shipper told us it was ok to park.

    I suggested we pull the front curtains closed so anybody looking would think there was a driver in the cab sleeping. Trainer said, "Oh, that's a good idea..."

    Some times you get sent to a place so many times you stop writing down the directions on how to get there.
    Or you get excited about going to a certain place because that means you can stop at a favorite truck stop along the way.

    Heh yeah I like going though Ohio on I80 east they have all of those Travel Plazas that are like food courts you see in the mall. Plus there is always plenty of parking and 4 wheeler hotties.
