    What's that about? I was sometimes surprised at how often I met Poles and Ruskies.


    Anyway I suppose you could try the TV Lounge if the truckers aren't in a half conscious trance-like state. If they are sitting there watching Dr. Phil then chances are you won't get really coherent thoughts out of them.


    Or try the restaurant especially if it has a counter and truckers are just having coffee while waiting for food.

    I went to my local truck stop awhile back to do the same thing your doing. But I wasn't asking about companies. I was primarily asking how do they enjoy trucking? Do they think it's worth getting into? What are some crazy things that can happen?

    Let me be the first to tell you, they are freaking insane on stories. But I heard alot of positive stuff aswell.

    I did the same thing when I was researching trucking and companies and I found that most were more than happy to give information and talk about their companies. I was able to obtain a great deal of information about different companies and the trucking industry.
