Ok you want to know alot. The first 7 questions can be answered in my profile and Rainy's thread on 3 things you like about your company. I love CFI. If my truck could fly or be a time machine that would be awesome. As far as home time, trucking has allowed me to see my wife in NC and my family in NY. I stay out at least 6 weeks at a time. This is why I love CFI's home time. I can take the days I want, usually 6, and not have to turn in my truck. I can't think of anything I don't like about my company. I don't know how but, I would like to see the hours of service rules changed. There is no perfect way. I love seeing the beauty of this country. I also love being my own boss in a way. Yes, I'm a company driver, but nobody hovers over me telling me what to do. My company is my support team. As far as hobbies, I enjoy playing games on my phone. I feel this is the easiest, least stressful job I have ever had. Any problems that come up are fixed with a phone call or message to dispatch or road service. I hope that works for you.

What is something you like about your job other than the paycheck? All the different places I get to see. I love traveling.

What is something you dislike about your job? All the waiting. Waiting to get loaded, get unloaded, waiting to get dispatched on a load. Let me just drive.

Are you a “home time” person or is it not all that important to you? Home time is very important for me. It's my vacation away from the truck.

If you could change one thing about yourself and trucking what would it be? Myself, I would like to have more patience or know what I want to do in life. About trucking, start holding shippers and recievers to higher standards and actually caring about trucker's time.

What do you find most pleasing about trucking? It can be very relaxing driving down the highway and listening to whatever you want.

Are you a “home time” person or is it not all that important to you? I stay out roughly 6 weeks at a time by choice, but this job let's me take "hometime" wherever I want.

If you could change one thing about yourself and trucking what would it be? I'd eliminate my anger at people who cut me off, thereby creating a dangerous situation for us all. (I'm getting better at this.)

What do you find most pleasing about trucking? The freedom to be captain of my ship. Little to no oversight on my daily routine, as long as I get the job done.

What are your hobbies while on and off the road? I'm an avid reader during the quiet times. Weather permitting, I love to go geocaching, hiking, exploring.

Share one thing about yourself ( your choice). I've been with my wife for over 27 years, and now we're traveling the country together, living in a truck. That's a real test on a relationship, and we are stronger than ever. I'm quite proud of that and Incredibly blessed.

Wasn't at first, but the more time I spend out here the more I value it. Part of the reason why I am planning to get out of OTR trucking.

Not letting small things bother me. It's easy to get discouraged out here, but I always remind myself such things aren't a big deal.

The feeling of accomplishment when making it through something tough whether it be snow covered roads or a difficult back.
