Well in my driving experience It is easy to point out all the idiots that can drive better than a CDL licensed driver and most of them drive 3 mile to the store in an Escort, but if ya get in their way they will definitely tell you how bad you are doing. and not necessarily verbal.

(There would be less of these kind of people if the State required you drive one for a month before ya get a license.)

Ya don't want to end up in the wrong side of town certain times of the day when ya miss your turn off. (some places easily done and nowhere to turn)

Rush hour around cities are the worst lasting up to 3 hours.

When I was a Kid growing up in farm land all I wanted to do was drive a truck. Last 10 years of having to I wished I never saw the inside of one.

Burnt out to the point I wasn't safe to be on the road, but age defied me for other challenges.

I was lucky God helped me through it .

Took a trip last year on an Interstate trucks will blow ya off the road now, Can't really blame the driver he is just tired of watching his kids grow up on pictures on his visor.

Some companies that my nephew worked for at the time his Mother was on her death bed ( I helped him with this trip.)

We had a load to Chicago, got it delivered next load every one was sitting on because of the pay was 3 Hum Vees to NJ we sat for 2 days waiting fopr something closer home so he could reload at the main terminal in Pitts. other than that we would have been going up to Vermont.

He did get a split between Wheeling and Baltimore.

Missed the drop off time in wheeling for Fri evening would have been another 2 day layover sitting in their parking lot . but we live 2 hours away. He delivered it Monday but then he left late Sunday night .

Then ya got the creeper cops and the paper boys wanting to give those free inspections.

Only way to do it -- No kids-- Wife drive as a team with ya -- and go on a lifelong vacation.

There are some good points --- I just can't think of any off hand .

Today's Featured Article - Picking Corn - by Rick Nikolich. It was the day before Christmas shutdown at work and I asked our lead engineering expert Scott Andrzejewski what he was going to do over the holidays. He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac ... [Read Article]
