Diesel in the blood



I've always heard that once you get diesel in your blood it pretty much stays there. I guess I would have to agree. I started driving a truck because I never saw my spouse awake when he came in off the road. So I figured if I wanted to I'd have to go with him. So for my birthday in 1989 I asked him to send me to school so I could run team with him. And that's how I got started. After a couple of years things got bad for him and he wanted a break so I ran solo for awhile. Then I became a trainer for a company and then we eventually became o/o of 2 trucks. Then I took a break from the road about a year. now it seems as though I'm gonna have to go back out for awhile. I'm not really looking forward to it but we need the dough so I'm going to do it.[summary][/summary][/b]

my truck





This is my truck a few weeks before her demise. In may a 16 yr old turned from an entrance road in the path of my husband. In the process of him trying not to hit the kid our truck was totaled.

We had her for 6 yrs and it took putting her in the woods for someone to demolish her. No one was hurt Thank God but our truck was destroyed.[/b]
