Stuff I do while Truckin

I gave some thought to being a truck driver when I was growing up. My stepfather taught me how to drive a rig when I was 12. We had a 74 Kenworth conventional with a twin turbo Cat in it. Man that thing RIPPED without a trailer on it! I do have a question about driving: Do you really feel a sense of freedom by being out on the road all the time? I feel really couped up at my job and wonder if I should have pursued it as a career. But, I do like going home at the end of the day! Do you live in your truck?
