Stuff I do while Truckin

Really?

I've always liked the food at TA's. But prefer the food at Flyin' J's.

My old man drove for 25 years. Over 3M miles in that span.

When I went on to become a body man a lot of family friends asked me why I didn't become a driver like my old man. I told 'em because my old man is. I love to travel, I love to drive, but it's the extracurricular activity of being a driver I knew I wouldn't be able to tolerate. Lumpin' loads, dealing with every other idiot on the highway, putting up with dispatchers who think a five hour drive can be done in half an hour because the two cities are only an inch apart on a map.

On the plus side, as a driver's son, it was nice to have a pro teach me how to drive.

Friends in high school asked me why I didn't take driver's ed. I told 'em that I have a professional driver who's taught me how to drive, not some dumbass gym teacher looking to make a few extra bucks. And the dumbass gym teacher was standing right there when I said it.
