I vote for no more diaries
Why do we continue to post to some of these diaries? Someone sharing some information about their experiences with a specific trucking company is one thing, but why do we need to hear daily that someone picked up here must deliver here and will reload at this place? Isn't that what we all do everyday? A funny story once in a while would be enjoyable reading, but these threads that chronicle months and months of the same thing we do everyday is boring.

If you do not want to read it, then do not click on it.

Some people enjoy them and some people don't. If it's not your cup of tea, move on to the next one.
Of course, I want to hear the story on how Rev drove his truck through the wall of someone's home. That is a Graebel truck, isn't it? Come on, fess up. :P

I am sure there are many people that have zero desire to read about anyone elses jouneys. No problem, like Uturn said....just don't click on it. I for one enjoy reading some of them. I too will be posting a "diary" of sort here shortly about my transition from military life to becoming a driver. I will be posting it with two motives in mind......
1) I know there are many out there like myself that enjoy reading about someone’s daily life on the road. It’s almost like we’re living vicariously through the writer.
2) Maybe it will provide some helpful information to those that are thinking about getting into the industry or at least lessen the anxiety about making the plunge.

It's a photoshop. A convincing one at that, if I do say so myself. :lol:

I've seen that pic before, but it's been a while and I thought it was a dump truck that went through the wall. I remember it was a Werner truck pick that went through some downtown storefront and that pic made the rounds. :shock:
