Starting into trucking at almost 40

Now Truckin'


[Comments] [Send Article] [Improper]

Well I'm on a truck with a trainer now. I've already logged over 1000 miles and done a few backs. I suck at backing right now but he says I'm doing ok.
I'm sitting in a motel in Seattle right now. Trainer's on home time and it's nice to have internet and cable, not to mention shower and toilet and a bed that isn't bouncing.
Here's a couple of pics.



This is the truck I'm on. It's a KW W900 and my trainer thinks it's the greatest. He's chroming it out slowly but surely. Looks pretty good.



This is the terminal at Salt Lake City where we sat most of the day before the fourth.

Well, hope everybody had a good Fourth of July.

Jobs are as tough to get and keep as a good woman. Knowing what you want, and being happy with what you get, may not be as far apart as you thought.
