And lo and behold, away from the I-5 corridor, people actually use their radios to communicate! Being a chatterbox by nature, I was grateful for that.

What channel would one be on for I-5 between the Puget Sound and Portlandia?

BTW, having that truck parking at the Napavine McDonalds is sooo nice. In, large coffee, out, no problemo.

That would be channel 17.

And I was in that McDonald’s yesterday morning.

Wilson Logistics has been very good to me, and I am grateful for the experience of living on the road, even though it’s only a week at a time. But call me a wuss if you will, being out there has taken a huge toll on my health, and with all the stress I’ve been through in the last year, it’s just snowballed.

So I’m saying thanks and goodbye to Wilson and going back to local work. In two weeks I’ll be heading down to Portland, Oregon for orientation with DSV. I’ll be on a Monday to Friday, home nightly, weekends off, hourly pay gig again. And I’ll be glad to be doing it, even with the traffic (I-5 corridor between Seattle and Eugene).

I have a new appreciation and respect for you folks that live on the road. Continuing on that road would probably eventually kill me.

Understandable I got a buddy that's been driving for 20 years and he's a year-and-a-half younger than me and I look like his kid. He always says to me I can't believe I'm younger than you I told him it's just the lifestyle not easy on the body or relationships.
I wouldn't dare think of calling you a wuss maybe smarter than me but definitely not a wuss.
At the end of the day only you know what's right for you and I wish you good luck.

We each need to do what’s best for us. Not being a wuss at all..... you are remembering who is #1, best of luck to you in the future.
