    I've been married to my best friend for 40 years this December.

    I have 5 grown children and 12 grandchildren. Isolation isn't in my DNA.

    There's certain things money can't buy...

    True, but money can buy hookers and bacon. Neither of which require a diaper change, unless you're really kinky.

    Peace is one. :)

    Seriously not dissing you. Just generality. I’m happy for you. I stay away from the dysfunctional. If ya get what I mean.
    I used to love working nights for same reason loving trucking. Don’t have to tolerate the idiots at work. Management blaming you for their incompetence. Etc etc etc
    Worked at a factory. Night shifts always walked all over day shifts in both production and quality. Management always had to get in the way. Screw it up during the day.
    I refuse to become an actor just to keep a job.

    To me this is the best peace. I also hope this is actually put on my tombstone.

    I think you meant to say I am a "moron". And I would have to agree. ;-)

    The question wasn't towards any one. Just here people complaining about trucking that's all.

    We are truck drivers, that is what we do, complain. And there is a lot to complain about, and it is getting worse. ;-)

    The entire industry sucks, starting with the equipment. There are around 8 to 10 of us leased to my carrier, 7 of us are down with major issues. I was putting mine together yesterday, replaced air compressor, power steering pump and air dryer. During assembly I lost a hose, or I should say the hose was bad. Turns out it is a very special high pressure power steering hose on the coolant system. A regular heater hose simply collapses. This hose is not readily available from the usual places. Now I have to wait until Monday for the Parker Store to open. I thought I would be loading up the truck today to go back to work. The boss is pissed.
