I get the impression that not only does a trucker need to be cut out for the job and lifestyle, but so does the trucker's family. I've spoken with some female friends who absolutely ended up hating it when their husbands/boyfriends tried their hand at trucking, and it ended up putting tremendous pressure on the relationship. A very bad scenario for ORG would be if he's finding that trucking is "in his blood," but his family can't stand it. Hopefully he and they can hack it for a year and then he can go local, which was his stated intention.

The younger you are, the harder it will be, especially if you have a young family. There's still too much to do, or experience might be a better word.

If it's not 100% OK with you and the wife or girlfriend, there is trouble headed your way. That's the most important part. Making sure it's OK with the family.

If I had kids that were young and still in school, I wouldn't even consider driving. But I'm older and the kids are grown and gone. Talked it over with the wife and she's on board. So I'll see how it goes.

But, while I'm out there, I'll keep an eye out for ORG.

ORG has been located!

I would like to apologize for the extremely long delay since I last posted. To be honest, I'm like a kid who's way behind on his homework. I really have a lot of important updates I need to provide you all. I'm beginning the process of working on those updates. Each day that goes past is another day I need to update you about.

I don't want to give everything away, but I've had an interesting almost 4 months of driving. Let me just say this:

I have a lot of respect for truck drivers. This is not an easy job. It involves a lot of work and skill. I know I've said this before, but it's worth repeating.

Thanks for your continued interest! I'm not going to let you all down in terms of the updates.

Welcome back ORG.

Well, I guess I won't have to search every T/S in America looking for you now that you've surfaced.

BTW, I start my orientation Swift on Tuesday the 14th.

OK, ORG. We'll be waiting to read your posts.
