On my way to pick up dirty fuel in Wichita to take down to humble, TX.

Both customers are kinda a PITA, but they're both nice.

Spent the past couple days running from Cheyenne, up to Dickinson and back and Realized that I need to get out of the city and live in the country, in a small town. I have zero idea what I would do for work, maybe just drive for 7 months and take 5 months off. It's just me, so I dont need much. I miss being able to be in the mountains everyday and to camp and hike with a dog.

Been in the truck almost 3 months straight, chasing that money. Been putting on weight , when I should be losing it because my med card is up in September. Really struggling to find goals. I'll be 45 this year and for some reason that's really scaring me. Most of my friends have forgotten me in the 4 years I've been back OTR. I get back home and try to visit with people and no one is interested when I'm there, but then when I leave ," why didn't you come visit?"

I'd love to have a small farm and raise animals before I get too old to do it by myself, but I have no idea how I would support myself. All the farmers I know inherited their farms as they were passed down. I can't live in the flatlands. I need mountains. Maybe I'll just camp out on a farmers ploy until he starts shooting at me and then move to the next one lol.

It's weird. I people watch alot and Realized last night that life is like a fictional tv show in a different language for me. I can get the gist of what I see and hear about strangers lives, but it's like a foreign language that I only have a small understanding of. I wish it would make sense to me.

Christ, I've been on the road too long....

The last time this happened, I took 4 days off in Portland and rented a car, then proceeded to drive it through the weigh station on I5 heading up into Washington.
Unimpressed Trooper was unimpressed. Lol

Wish I had though to take a pic of him standing up with his hands on his hips, shaking his head lol

Bud if you get bored and wanna chat sometime give me a call. I don't know how you are able to stay out as long as you are. I just did 17 days and I was sick of everything. Everytime I stay out over 12 days I swear it's my last time.

I might just forget the new truck thing and get a truck I had as a teenager in high school. It was a chick magnet. It was a old beat up chevy Luv, if ya remember it you know it was a pearl

My first truck was a 72 Ford and I found a 73 in excellent condition last time I was home. I won't lie and say I wasn't tempted

Thanks buddy. I have 2 guitars, a laptop, and I used to practice photography when I had a camera. That kills alot of time. I've been meaning to take some classes online but I've been lazy

I hope your company recognizes your hard work and dedication helping them in that Texas thing.And I don't blame you for staying out long since it takes a bit to get into the money after leaving home everytime. Just stay safe and careful that daily grind day after day will sometimes wear you out. Well it does me sometimes, few times I was glad to have to take a reset

Considering how other discussions turn into trolling and bickering this sub forum is great and it's nice to see how truckers get along. I will make my decision next week about where I am going. I am not in the hurry , my wife works plus my other truck makes me a little bit of money. Hope you guys will let me post even if I end up leaving tankers lol

Ok so I was just looking at my gross pay so far for the year, I'm guessing it's alittle low because I just started getting payed really well at the beginning of July cause that's when my 4 cpm raise kicked in. But anyways as of today I've grossed 37,333.41 now this does include 200 bucks a month for tuition and 1,000 I got for a bonus. Is my total gross good, ok, or bad (way under) what it should be at being at the end of July? So I've only got 5 months left in the work year. I'm thinking my gross it a lot shorter than everyone's else's but I've worked bout as hard as I could stand most months so it is what it is. Next full year will be a lot higher I think anyways. After doing some figuring if I stay on track I should be at 64k for the year gross, not great but I'm only in my second year of driving so I can't complain really
