Not much. You? Trucking Is as Trucking Does.
209, I counted. That’s how many applications I have filled out for trucking companies. Of those only 4 trucking companies have even made an attempt to send me some type of response. 32 of these Apps. will exceed the 90 day limit in 2 days, so to keep them fresh I will have to send those trucking companies another reminder about me. It seems so much easier in this day of E-mail and fax etc.etc.etc.
Just an ol’ Trucker Looking at Driving Schools
Me, being an ol’ time trucker, decided I would go take a look at some of the CDL Driving Schools in my area. Here’s a little rundown on what I found – everything from the crooked and filthy, to the big and the beautiful!

Getting to know me…
I try to lead a simple life, I’m not after riches untold or fame, I prefer to love, live, and be free. There is always someone out there that wants to control those things that I hold dear. For instance … I once had a boss that couldn’t stand the fact that I was happy in my life. He never wanted to get to know me or understand where I stood. He wanted me to be like the rest of his drivers. These drivers were always griping about their wives and how the law was against everyone and how they hated to work, on an on and on.

Be as that may, there were times when I would have to work in close quarters with said ‘want to be depressed people’, and finally one day…..
