I saw a truck the other day |
|
A flatbed hauler had the words "The Blessed Hellride" painted on the back of his truck. I thought I was the only trucker who liked that band. I can't think of a better description of the job that millions of trucking men and women do every day. "The Blessed Hellride" is my slogan for life.

Hey, how are you?
Can't say that I know anything about the band, but it's nice to see you here!

2. Good to see you, too, tofunut |

I'm doing well. The new job is kicking my ass right now, but things are getting better. I got to go out west for the first time in 7 years on my last trip. I also got to Canada on that trip. It's been a wild ride.

3. Sorry about the "kicking your ass" part |
|
but it sounds like things are getting better.
Did you at least have A/C on your big trip?

I have yet to get a ride with no A/C on my new job. I have another thread here in the lounge that is a brief description on the job. Nobody seems to care, though. That's alright I know how that is.

He had over 3 Million miles wracked up. And that was just with Roadway. He drove for TransCon before then. I know how hard your job is. Take care, drive safe! :hi: Duckie

Your dad had a great job. I got a job for life like he had although I'm afraid mine is a lot more physical. I don't know if I will make it 30 years, but maybe I can make it 20 and still have a good pension.
