Is this crazy or what?

Thanks - I appreciate this insight. I really enjoyed being in the Navy and traveling. I was on 2 WestPac cruises in 3 years, so I spent a lot of time on the ship at sea (17 months total). But you can get up and walk around on a ship - not exactly the same as sitting in a 'box' all day.

I also enjoyed traveling across the country and camping along the way - we had a pop-up camper - which I can only imagine is what it'd be like sleeping in a truck.

Obviously there are a lot of things about truck driving that don't come to mind when thinking about a career or 'Lifestyle' - and there are a lot of things that just can't be 'explained'.

It seems it's one of those things you just have to 'do' to really know what it's like. And since everyone is different and handles every situation differently, what's good / bad for one person might not be so for another. Everyone has certain things they can handle, that others would blow a gasket about.

In the meantime, it'd help to get as much information as possible to go into it with my eyes open, rather than wake up to a nightmare and find I was dreaming.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
