I recently quit doing the one job that I have alway's wanted to do to come home and take care of my step-children. Now granted, I wasn't making a paycheck the way I should have been, but I still wanted to be out there.
As a truck driver I got to travel the country and bring the things that make our lives run! We are underpaid, have bad equipment, dispatchers who don't care that we havn't seen our family in 3 weeks or 3 months, and that we havn't had the time to stop and take a shower in a week! Never mind all that, we have to run, run, run to get it there! The 4 wheelers think that they own the road and we are an inconvienience to them, and in thier way! We have to follow local, state, and federal motor carrier law's and manage the load's we haul, our log book's, the wieght of the load and the vehicle! WE are responsible for everything, if we are overwight it's becouse we didn't check the weight before we left the shipper!
But you can't bet the view from my office window!! I have seen so much of this beutiful country that if I was to move I wouldn't know where to move to!!
I love being a truck driver!!!
