To all veterans...if you could pick 1 thing..

Being forced to work for free.

 

Gradually being left out of everything by everyone you know because you're always either "on the road" or "about to be on the road" when things are happening. Your friends are having a big get together in a month at a place you need to have reservations for? Maybe, but you don't know where you'll be that far in advance.

Also, when you find people avoiding you at events because you're "that truck guy".

 

You know why divorces cost so much?

Because they're WORTH it!

 

Hardest thing for me so far has been sitting after my 10 waiting for the Qualcom to churp. I am out here, away from home and figure if I am out here I might as well work. I can play games, watch tv and chat on the forum sitting at home making the same amount as when I am sitting out here doing the same. I miss my dog most of all. If my company had a pet rider policy I would stay out a month. My girlfriend didn't like me saying that when i told her. Only reason I can think of why she would be mad is because she knows it would be true. Safe Trucking Everyone!!!
