Have not updated since going home almost 2 weeks ago. I stayed out long enough last time to get the ok for an extra day off. I was home a total of 5 days and finally managed to finish remodeling my living room that I tore out 3 years ago with the help of David and Dick. Seems like every time I came in there was always something else that I needed to do or take care of and was hard to make the time to just finish it. Little by little I got it though. This time I had my son and grandson corraled to help. Good thing too, my right knee was locked up and I believe I cracked/broke a rib on my left side. Getting old sucks!!
Went back to work last Friday and have been moving 10 to 11 hours every day. Over to Georgia, up to Indiana and back to Arkansas. I deliver to Ft. Smith this afternoon and then will have to shut down to let my hours build back up again. Have some pictures and if I can get a strong enough signal for my computer I will get them loaded up.
About Me
- Travis
- I am married 32 1/2 years and live in E. Texas. We have one son and 3 grandchildren. Although I have BS degree and have tried management several times, I have found I am more comfortable just driving a truck. You keep your record clean and drive safely you will always have a job. When lost management jobs, I was always able to get one driving. I have always loved writing, haven't done enough of it to increase my vocabulary over the years, but no time like the present to start. Thanks to Eric and Jamie's living in China and getting me hooked on blogs, I have decided to write my own. I am a long haul truck driver and I travel 48 states. I have done this off and on most of my working career, getting my commercial license in 1972 just to pull uncle's dozer around town. If anyone follows this maybe they will get some idea what I am going through. What any truck driver goes through and what he gives up in his life. It is very lonely and not for everyone.
