I have always had a lot of respect for truckers. Certainly not a job that I could handle. My brother-in-law started driving an 18 wheeler 5 two years ago and always has the most interesting stories to share about his life on the road as I’m sure all truckers do. I was surprised to find out that most truckers don’t use CB radios anymore since cell phones and the Internet came along. He explains that now a days the majority of the people who even use a CB radio are the drug dealers and the lot lizards that are looking for “a date” for the evening (or at anytime really, truckers are found on the road all hours of the day and night, every day of the week.
My sister has no interest in going out of the road with him, not even for just a local run that would have her home in plenty of time to deal with all the other things that keep working women so busy 24/7. I’d love to go on a road trip with him. He is a good guy with a wicked good sense of humor that doesn’t get on my last nerve as quickly as so many other people do.
