Pros and Cons of truck driving.

Actually I was thinking more like con as in confidence person.

 

Hehe. You get negativity from people who have been running and gunning for awhile because to be successful at this, you must tolerate ALL the really inconsiderate people the world has to offer, without retaliating.

So it builds up, and your patience starts to run out.

Your mind becomes conditioned to process information at 65 mph.
You are in a constant state of focus.

So when something pretty trivial happens at the wrong moment you may find yourself going-

"ARE YOU F STUPID MAN??"

They same person after several days of unwind will be pretty mild mannered.

So it's important to determine your own personal #### tolerance, and like a filter on the truck, when it's near full, maintenance it.

If you can get a codriver that looks hot in a sexy witch or catwoman outfit, then you'll be living the dream.

 

And Reading, PA is pronounced "Redding, PA."

 

Beer helps drown out the cons.

 

Well, the whole point is, that they want to distance themselves from the "roach motel" connotations of Newark, NJ.

The first time I was corrected, it was an elderly lady. But she was very polite about it, so I gave her a pass.

The second time was in a bar, where my friends and I were enlightened, more firmly than politely, by a numerically superior group of locals. So, discretion being the better part of valor, we withdrew to another nearby tavern, and avoided calling the town by name for the rest of the night.

"I do not shrink from tribulations; neither do I rationally court them".

 

This is one that has always bothered me. Wytheville Va is (with-vil). Don't get me started on how Worcester, Mass is butchered. I have family that live near Schuylkill Haven,Pa. That name gets badly butchered.

 

You summed up my trucking lifestyle succinctly.

 

This is True...but,the "living on the Edge lifestyle" just gets in 'your Blood"..I mean "Wgo in their Right Mind wouD Choose this Dangerous ,Nomadic Lifestle.",I would...I like living on the edge.JMO

 

Please enlighten me. I've heard "SKUE-kill", "SCHOOL-kill", and "SKUK'l", and I would not be surprised if none of those are right.
