Good luck, drive & be safe. Be wary of standing water (floodwaters), it's likely carrying a ton of harmful bacteria. Proud of you!

Ieeeeeeeeeewwww. So gross. You're so right. I forgot about that. Thank you.

I told my boss on Monday to sign me up, the minute FEMA called him requesting drivers for the relief effort. I got the call tonight.

Send me your pieces of advice, tips, experience. I'll keep everyone up to date, as well as possible. And I'll try to figure out how to post photos. LOL.

I have one more run tonight from Denver to Salt Lake, Denver sat morning and then reset.

I gotta tell you, my trucking brothers and sisters: I couldn't be more proud right now, to be an American trucker.

Much Love,

First, I'd correct his grammar. Knowing me, he'd expect that.

"I'm proud of you. I love you. Drive like a man, even if you're a girl. Above all, be safe. Call me 24/7, for any reason whatsoever."

Oh, and, "Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming."

The second minute is for hugs and kisses.

You came to the right place. Welcome to TT.

I was salivating till I read the part about truck ownership. There was the "catch."

Don't go there.

Don't sweat this at all. I am a prime example of someone who got very attached to her first (TWO) trucking companies and have found a good fit. The pay was much lower with my 3rd company but at the time, I needed a place that was a better fit on the stress side than the money side. I'm talking $6/hr pay cut.

Subsequently, I've been with them for over a year, driven across CO, WY, UT in some serious ice and snow with several chain ups, and had no stress-induced accidents of any kind. Then, last week, the company brought us up to a competitive pay rate with a $3/hr raise.

Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.

It all works out if stick with it.
