To All The Naysayers

I was in the military for 7yrs before becoming a trucker and honestly, I see the 2 as a total contrast...freedom/restraint ; independant/team. I'll never forget my experiences in the military. What I have learned in the service has carried on into my civilian life. And believe me, after seeing the type of characters that I see at these truck stops everyday, a little discipline and training wouldn't hurt. But of the two I must say, nothing satisfies my independant & nomadic nature like trucking.

 

And I'm pretty sure there are more success stories out there from truckers just like you. Don't you just love success?

 

Then what is your idea of a trucker? Some fat slob, chain smoker, filthy disgusting human being, who never showers, who lives in a filthy truck, who can't clean up after themselves, who is overweight, unhealthy, eats hot dogs and drinks 64oz sodas all day, who is about to die from a heart attack, won't make it past 50, 60 if he's lucky. Is that your idea of a trucker? Because if it is, what a disgrace.
