Many of you know how I love trucks and am always taking photos and asking owners about their trucks. During one of these photo activities, I met a o/o in his early 50's. I later learned he owned a a old freightliner that he recently traded in for a 99 pete 379.
Well one day, I climbed out and my curiosity turned into gold. I began talking to this guy and got a chance to take a couple of rides in his truck. I learned several things (lower and raise landing gear, hook hoses, etc). Recently I became jobless and asked for work. I do not why but I have a passion for trucks and he has helped me out. I have a couple friends who graciously have offered to assist me in my current/future career. Even though i work a couple of days a week or four a month, the privilege to learn is rewarding.
