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.
If sight seeing is all they think you do,
They need to look inside for more of a view.
The chaos, the stress, and all the worry,
To get the frieght from point A to B in a great hurry.
What they don’t understand is how,
All they want is to have it now.
Trying to explain life on the road is
Something that they don’t want to hear or uphold.
Their busy lives as they go about,
Is all they think of without a doubt.
So keep doing what you do and
Know for a fact that there’s someone
ALWAYS praying for you.
About Author Karen
What to say about me.....uhmmmm.....I'm an average woman from an average town. If you're looking for me to be rich in the monetary.....that's not happening. How I'm rich is beyond words. It's with and in the spiritual realm where my family and friends are concerned. If you're looking to find me physically beautiful.....you're looking in the wrong place. The beauty that I hold is in the respect of who I am; confident, respectful with a worth that comes from God. My thoughts, opinions and ideas matter because I MATTER!!! I live by a "NO MATTER WHAT...." rule to life. In general.....I love to go with my husband in the truck (gives me more insight for my stories) and I absolutely love to ride the Harley. Traveling......I'm not a house bound woman. Now, if you want to know more about me.....then get to know me!!! I'm just simple.....one of God's children!

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.

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”?
In my last article, Long Haulers Recognition, I wanted to give recognition to truck drivers for what they have to go through on a daily basis but for this article I’m going to address the “potty” issue.
