You’re Choice

One of my favorite things to do is to keep track of all the cars that are available. I love cars and trucks and like to keep tabs on the best ones. I have been doing some research into this area and have a few cars and trucks I’d like to mention. The first one is the cadillac escalade hybrid. This is a beautiful car that has a lot to offer. Not only is the gas mileage great, but it is a well built hybrid. Anyone who has concerns about the environment would be well satisfied with this vehicle. I like its looks and I know that the cadillac quality is contained therein.

The next vehicle that I would like to mention is one of my old favorites. It’s the hummer h3t and the new model is coming out this year. While in many ways it is steeped with the same old qualities we have come to expect, there are some new changes. This year’s model will have the capability to run on an up to 85 percent blend of ethanol. They also have some new color schemes to please the eye. All in all, it’s the same old standard but with a few improvements.

Whenever I want to have a nice vehicle for getting some work done, I turn to the gmc canyon. With its v8 power, it has all the pulling power I need to carry the loads I have. It is fairly fuel efficient and comes with many standard options. It is also one of the safest vehicles on the road as it has received the five-star crash tests scores. It is a likeable little truck that will grow on you over time.

The last thing I want to say is that all of these vehicles are very nice. You just have to determine what your needs are going to be. You can always go online in order to find out more info when necessary. Whatever one you choose, I am confident you will come away feeling good about your choice.

Homesick

I miss home, don’t get me wrong I love this job, but I miss having a reel bed and not living out of a truck stop. We spent last night watching TV in Spanish because we are on the border to Mexico and all of the stations are in Spanish. I love the travel part but you don’t think about how truckers live most of the time. I don’t know how many times I walked into a truck stop and didn’t even notice the small city of trucks parked behind them. I didn’t even notice the showers that I now know are in all of said truck stops. I can’t describe the feeling of waking up in a new city every night or not knowing where I will be when I stop the next time I need to sleep and I am still with my trainer for another two weeks I can’t tell you how small the space in the truck is with two pretty good size men trying to make room for each other. Picture two people living in a space about as big as your average bathroom, and because I am in his truck I have my bag with all my stuff that I have to sleep with on a twin size bed. I can’t wait to get my own truck and be able to personalize it, my trainer is a great guy but I would love this truck to feel more like home and maybe I won’t miss home quite as much.

Get ready here I come

I am so excited I finished school and officially have a CDL. I can’t wait to get going with my trainer, I haven’t met him yet and know nothing about him so this should be interesting. I am heading to California for my first load and that’s a long way from here in Nashville. I really hope I get along with my trainer because we will be spending twenty-four hours a day seven days a week together for the next four weeks. I have everything packed just waiting for the call from him telling me when we leave. I have to be prepared for all kinds of weather so packing is a little hard. I also have to go buy some twin sheets for my bunk in the sleeper. I am so ready just want to get on the road already. I know I will miss home and I’m sure eventually it will get old but I want to travel and this just seems like a great way to see this great country I live in.

I am glad our first trip will be out west I have always wanted visit California but never had reason to, and the best part is now I will be getting paid. I just hope I can get use to sleeping while moving and the odd hours I will be keeping to make my deadlines. I really want to make a good impression, I am a really hard worker and I want them to be able to depend on me and know I can get the job done the right way and on time. I will keep you posted but for now wish me luck!

Job opportunity

I have decided that after quitting school and being lazy enjoying the holidays these last couple of weeks I need to grow up and get serious about getting a job. I have always wanted to see the United States and I’m still young so I am thinking about learning to drive a truck.I have been looking into this and I think I can do it. I have to take a training course and pass the DOT exam to get my CDL and then I’m on my way. Can’t wait for this new chapter to begin I just hope the living on the road doesn’t get old.
