    Do a lot of it from my sleeper. Have had to become a hi tech redneck. Use voice activation.

    Have several agents that I can call and reserve stuff sight unseen.

    But all I do is truck, and trucking.

    That cat is Mincy. She's The Operations Manager and the brains.

    Several agents know Mincy.

    I like running my own business and doing it when I want to.

    I like to travel and explore.

    I like camping out in a different spot every night, and I don't mean a filthy truck stop.

    I like the payoff when I'm creative and solve problems, from parking to maintenance to bookkeeping.

    I like days when I can do all this without hours on the phone.
     
    D.Tibbitt, SteveScott and GrandmaRosa Thank this.

    Wife wants to know how you deal with the litter that gets stuck on the paws. If I am able to alleviate her fears of odor and litter trails, we'll be getting a kitty.

    Really no odor, except right after one takes a dump. That sometimes requires an unscheduled stop to eject it.

    Clumping cat litter. Fresh Step. You'll have no cat box smell. Scoop out in the morning and after you shut down, done deal.

    Little granule hear or there, sweep or vaccum to suit yourself, but it's really not much hassle.
