Sometimes it can be very difficult dealing with dispatch, and especially the load planners that are behind the dispatchers. I’ve been with my husband now on a few trips and I’ve seen some of the crap that he has to go through when dealing with certain people. I’m telling’ ya……..I guess all I can say is “WOW”.

Truck drivers, to me, deserve more because I’m watching them make it all happen by transporting freight from one point to another every day. So with that, please know that I’m praying for every one of you, and wanting the best for all of you because to me…YOU’RE ALL WORTH MORE!!!

There’s a comfort in knowing that all is ok while being in the same room with the one you love in total silence. Never forget how lucky you are. Stay true, always.
Comradery – Where is it?
Posted by Karen on 28 April 2009, 7:52 pm
I remember hearing truck driver’s talk about the comrodary amongst themselves. It seems like years ago. Oh yeah, it was! How they used to wave when passing by.

Being in a truck is just as spiritual as being on the back of a Harley…nothing else can compare to the unity that’s created and felt from me to my Creator. But the thing that mystifies me the most is the “magic” of just being.

Posted by Karen on 30 March 2009, 7:17 am
People who have never experienced the life of an over the road truck driver have no idea how difficult the job and the lifestyle is. Here’s a little poem I wrote to let drivers know that some of us do understand, and that we’re thinking about you all the time.
Potty Break….
Posted by Karen on 25 March 2009, 5:54 am
Let me start out by asking one question…..How many of you (meaning truck drivers) that are on the road daily really look around and observe the landscape, as much as you can, to see all the trash that’s discarded and amongst all that debris how many have noticed all the “waste” containers”?
