The wife is miserable. The kids are grown. A year or two on the road might be a good thing. |
Good thing? Talk to a long hauler who drives winter AND summer...one of the routes being through the Columbia River Gorge in November....Now, if all your long hauling was southern states only? Hours of sheer boredom.
Nope, NOT a trucker here. Just a guy who has had conversation with a few. Trust me, the "romance of the road" dies quickly.
