I have leased a truck and started my own business. Funny how things work out. It is not something I enjoy at all. Trucking started out to be ok, but the older I get the harder it gets, and it does not allow you to have any kind of life. Problem is I married a truck driver, who seems to love it, or thinks it's all he can do. Not sure which it is. Fact is I love him, and will do anything for him, including doing something I hate. I have always wanted a normal life, but then again what is a normal life. I think what I hate about it, is no regular days off, it is so unappreciated, never get to be with family, living out on the road is hard, and it is very rough on ones health. I am so surprised at how many think it is such a glamorous job. I tell them it is the one of the most dangerous and hardest jobs you will ever do in your life. The saying is so true, if truckers stop, America would stop. Just as if Farmers stop growing, America would starve. If the military quit, America would loose its freedom. Think about it, think about the real people who serve the people of America. It is not your elected officials, they have only proven to be self serving. Send your appreciation to the true working American who serves his fellow citizens everyday.
