My ex was a cross country trucker. I went with him for 2 years. It's a hard life living out of a suitcase. Trying to find places to park your truck to sleep. Waiting at a truckstop for a shower. Waiting to unload and for a new load. The only thing was you do get to see places that you probably wouldn't otherwise but you usually don't have the time to stop and enjoy them.
@lissah you’ve led such an incredible life. You never cease to amaze me.

@lissah Or talking to the fellow drivers who have been there and can share stories. My father drove truck for a living and I do miss the road

My father was a truck driver when I was very young. I used to go with him on his routes, sometimes for a couple days at a stretch. Loved the truck stop food and getting to know his fellow drivers. The nicest part of it was he had a sleeper in the back and I would crawl in and take a nap while my father made his deliveries. I totally miss it
I do this for a living. Sometimes it’s a good life and others it’s a lonely life but now with the internet there is always someone to talk to on those lonely nights.
all the documentation, inspections, 10-12 hours in the seat trying meet impossible schedules, and paperwork prevented me from driving. now some interstates are a crawling parking lot
