Well it has been 4 months since Swift let me go over that accident, I have spent that entire time attempting to get back on the road, but to no avail, and unfortunately I have moved to an area of the country with pretty much no available local companies. I am about at the point where I am ready to give up my search, now when I see a truck I just feel sick to my stomach. I know a lot of you out there both feel I shouldn't be on the road, or feel I deserve a second chance. Whatever side of the fence you stand, I appreciate all of the input I have heard. If it takes me 3 years before I can get hired again, so be it, weather I am flipping burgers or programming websites, I will be looking forward to that day I can get back in the seat.
Honestly, I have no regrets, I learned a lot of valuable things, what to do, and what not to do. That day I do get back in the seat, all of my experiences will only serve to make me a better and safer driver. But until then, I will be doing something, and more then likely will spend most of that time thinking about that day I will be on the road again.
It is a lifestyle, a lifestyle I found I enjoy above all else. Not the BBR or CSWH (Coolie Steering Wheel Holder) lifestyle, but the trucker lifestyle, living on the road, and running our great country by keeping its commodities available.
So now I will spend my time making the best of it, for one day I will ride again.
