    Keeping an eye on the weather next week. Seeing what's going on all over today and over the holiday, I'm kind of glad I won't be driving this weekend.

    Careful talking about Super Trucker Vampire Deamons on here. A certain member named Frank might think you are a Kentuckian.

    Wish I could say the same, but just off hometime last week. Enjoy the weekend.

    I noticed that too, always 20 or 30, never 26 or 28. Last year I had a Guy call Me a Rookie, said He’d been Driving 20 yrs. Apparently I parked my Truck in the wrong spot at the Dealership. OH WELL!!! The Guy was a real Moron. Not that it matters but I’ve been Driving T/T 28 yrs. Straight Trucks 7 yrs prior. So 35 yrs Driving.But like I told him, “So What”!!! I always have to stop and do the math when asked the question,” how long?” I don’t go around announcing it everyday every chance I get. Lol. Some Guys take hemselves way too serious. Side effect from being stuck too long in a Truck, I suppose.

    I'm a noob compared to most on here...Been at it several years. I can't tell you how many miles I have driven. I can only guess, since I don't keep a running record.

    Lol, my GPS says I’ve driven 247,037.04 miles..got it about 10k miles into my OTR career. Moving time 4,072:36 hours..

    I’m going with “I’ve been driving truck over 4 thousand hours” Sounds better than 2.5 years!
