I avoided fast food/truck stop food. I kept a mini fridge with normal meal stuff. (sandwiches/noodles) I tried to exercise when I could. I walked around all the different places I delivered to.

Definitely

When I started I asked to get home time every two weeks but it ended up being about every 2 months for a couple of days. Truck driving is not a good job for people in relationships.

I don't really know I like tacos. I thought a drive through restaurant for big-rigs would make a fortune though.

What about a pull-up restaurant? Like a van that'd pull up beside the truck and you do the whole exchange out the window.

I mean, ignoring the huge blatant risk factors.

My cousin suggested the same exact thing. It sounds like a huge time save, I like it.

Are you still doing this? If so, how the **** do you post so much?

Lot Lizards?

yes, very nasty

How prevalent is illegal stimulant use? What are the drugs of choice?

dont like lizards

I work 4 days a week now for a local company.

They're hookers that work in truck stop parking lots.

I'm sure it's pretty common. I never used drugs when I was driving. I've seen lots of guys snorting coke while they're driving.

If your goal is to make money this sounds like a terrible idea. If your goal is to drive around jacked up on coke then this would be the perfect arrangement.

Are you sure it wasn't meth?

I'm not sure.

Hot enough for ya?

Nothing is too hot for me.

How often did you eat at diners? I'd always be coming back from somewhere in the middle of the night and it'd be all truckers eating breakfast at like 1:30am. Bang any waitresses? What would you order? What are the trucker showers like? What's the biggest animal you've hit?

Are you ever worried your truck might be homicidal like in that movie Maximum Overdrive?

I don't think I ever ate at a diner. I never banged any waitresses. The showers at commercial truck stops are usually very clean. When someone comes out, it shows up on the computer so the cleaning lady can go get it ready for you. The biggest animal I ever hit was a bird. It broke my side mirror.

Well, I was never "worried" about it. That would be cool.

What state has the worst drivers?

820 am out of Dallas used to come through clear in Grand Rapids, MI, on cloudy nights.

Lonely, I take it you never tried skateboarding. Ever talk to any drivers who drive flatbed?

Sounds like a bitch of a job, what with securing loads in every imaginable weather condition. They sometimes enjoy Magic Carpet Rides, which apparently involves hanging onto a tarp that got caught up in the wind. Pays well, though.

I've considered trucking several times over the years, but when it came down to brass tacks I just couldn't go through with it. The stories of the sh;tbags knocking on the door and waking you up at night trying to sell stuff alone was enough to dissuade me.

Also, no disrespect intended, but we both know that Swift drivers are considered to be the bottom of the barrel (due to their meat-in-the-seat recruiting efforts). Did you ever get any harassment or shlt-talking from other drivers, or the shipping and receiving crowd?

did the pay reflect the seemingly inconvenient work hours?

You ever thought about being an "ice road trucker"?

What's the closest you came to a jack knife?

What's your longest (in miles) haul?

Never mind the fap, ever have any women hitchers give you a handy or road head?


Ever miss a delivery only to have to bring it back a long way?

I don't know if it's a state thing but California/New York definitely were the worst places to drive. Phoenix is pretty bad too.
