Default Hate it or Love it.

I've talked to a lot of people who say they love the job and wouldn't want to drive anything else, but then theres always the others who say they wish they would of went to school (not saying that you guys didn't) and started in a different line of work.

So, do you like it or hate it?

Gee, I don't know been driving for 28 years and just order another new KW with my partner. We figure we can put in another 15 to 20 before retiring from the road. This is all I have ever wanted to do and I have no regrets.

I was in another industry before I became a driver. I was actually hoping to have more free time, and the money to develope something else. Now, I'd like to win the powerball so I can retire while I can still enjoy it.

I love driving and owning a truck. I don't think I'll ever get tired of looking out the hood of my Pete. I get tired of the DOT obsessive troopers around here. But with age I wish I could do something more with the times. Some of us have no retirement to speak of. That's where some of the regret comes in, at least that's me.

Like I've posted previously, he's parked right now temporarily, but I still sit in him and just gaze out the windshield and wish my truck and I were going to El Paso, triple didgets, my truck and me as one. I do love my truck and the hood and the 'going somewhere'...........usually in my dreams now since I haul rock and don't go very far......................... :?
