    Doing a 34 or a 48 out on the road isn't bad when your company provides you a hotel card. And pays you by the hour for your reset.

    I watch Semi truck racing through the parking lot, remembering the days when drivers actually yelled at others to slow the …. down.

    If your unlucky you see a short fat dryvan driver waddle out and hit by speedy.

    Or the first truck stops to let someone back in and the second one playing with phone and doesn’t notice.

    I usually have one of those reflective sun screens up when I'm parked, so no worries there. But when it's down, if the company wants to watch me pick my nose and adjust myself then I feel like I should give 'em a show.

    I'm looking into getting an e-bike for the truck...What model do you have, and where do you store it ?
