Too many jokes, too little time...

Finding a mate after you've started trucking.

As a twice divorced Man, my only question would be WHY!!!!!

Cause it was only AFTER you started trucking that you met me. Ahhaah

Those sites are all prostitutes and not all women. Hahaha

Hmmm... Just wondering how Rainy would know that...

Saw the title of this post and thought you might be talking about a new drinking establishment you had found...🙄

Oh well... What do you expect from a reefer driver???

I can already see that I am going to have the same luck with choosing replacement wiper blades on my truck as I have on my car. What brand do you suggest? No streaking, no cracking, good coverage, flat on the glass, no bouncing, holds up to ice and snow. I absolutely HATE a dirty windshield, both inside and out. Any suggestions out there?

In Russellville, AR for a little overnight down time (get to hook up with my wife...YES!!!), Then it's of to Reno, NV to get rid of 40,000 lbs of Chicken Wings... People out west are gonna have their snacks for the Super Bowl, thanks to another trucker!

Eight... EIGHT...DAMMIT I KNOW I TYPED EIGHT!!!!!

A sleigh and right tiny reindeer...

(Only 304 more shopping days until Christmas!!)

"obfuscation"

Dems is some kinda fancy talkin!

What app do you use to upload photos for storage that can also be used to post photos here on TT by links?

My 2¢...

I've held many different jobs over the last 40+ years, from busboy to radio DJ to sales to corporate trainer to janitor to area representative to church choir director, etc. I can certainly tell you the good, the bad, and the ugly of each one, because they all had them. I'm 61 years old, I have a college degree, and a ton of experience in various fields. I've been unemployed for quite some time because few if any want to hire someone my age, so I became one of those unemployed statistics they don't put in the numbers - the ones who gave up looking. When the idea of driving came to light, it took less than a month to go from thinking about it to being in a truck.

If this industry perfect? Not in the least. Are there better paying jobs with better benefits lot there? I'm sure there are for the right kind of person. But here's what I found out about driving... They don't require a lot of education or experience, you can make a higher than average income, you can get some really good benefits, and, here's one of the best parts, once you acquire your CDL and get a little experience and keep your record clean, you are faced with an almost unlimited plethora of opportunities to grow and improve yourself and your lifestyle. No one cared that I was 61. They just said, "come on down!".

I also work for the same company as others have mentioned where I can stroll into the CEOs office at anytime and chat or play basketball with him. I will be rewarded for my hard work, honesty, and common sense. In all my years in the workforce, I have I seen a tiny number of opportunities available like this for the "average Joe or Jane".

My company didn't have to offer me free transportation to their location, a hotel room for the duration of my training, three meals a day, extensive job training, and a guarantee of employment if I accomplish my goal. What other industry does that? The only one that immediately come to mind is the military... Been there, done that... Trust me, this is much better, especially for an old veteran like myself.

Again, is it perfect? Nope... But it is one hell of an opportunity for anyone who's willing to work for it and not expect someone else to simply plop it in their lazy lap. I am very proud to say that I and a professional commercial truck driver and that I work for, in my opinion, one of the best companies out there, Prime, Inc. And I would be proud to refer even my children to Prime. Again, I don't have rose-colored glasses on, I know even Prime isn't perfect, but by God they sure are a damn good company with whom I am very grateful to be employed.

Like I said, just my 2¢ worth...
