I belong to a dying breed of drivers, the ones who grow up in this industry the ones who 3,4 or more generations of drivers. I was first put behind the wheel around 11 or 12 when dad caught me and my baby brother(also a driver 20+ years) on the deck of his flatbed. He informed us if we were old enough to climb up there we were old enough to learn the trade, after serveing in the military for awhile I found myself being a single parent so I asked dad what should I do and all he could say is do what comes natuarally that was over 10 years ago. Yes I made some darn good money out here but I have also made my share of mistakes, right now I am playing the rider part letting some of those mistakes fall off my record and hopefully by October things will be looking better and I can get back to the job that I love and miss dearly, there is nothing prettier then the sunrises and sunsets that you can see out the left window of a truck..
Along with makeing mistakes I have grown in the fact of knowing if you are going to be an owner op out here today one of the most important things you have to protect is your lincense because when that gets in jepordy of being taken from you, you lose every aspect of your livelyhood, just glad my daughtor is grown and in the Army and she does not depend on me anymore because in that aspect I feel I have failed her....Hope to see and drive with you all again soon...............
