So trucker respect….I’ve had my own little thoughts on truckers and I’m sure you have to. They are nasty, rude, 300-pound slobs. For some those words may fit lol. For others it is the exact opposite. These men and women are moms, dad, uncles, aunts, grandmas, grandpas and so forth. Many take care of themselves on the road, they have fitness equipment to work out and keep their minds and bodies up for driving hours on the roads, they cook their own meals (truck stop food may be tasty but it will take you down the road to diabetes FAST). Many of them have companions such as cats or dogs on the road with them also to keep them moving.  Ya know these are just regular folk out here making a living. This job isn’t in the least bit easy with deadlines, knowing your truck inside and out, shippers, receivers, truck stops, showers, rest stops, not to mention people who don’t feel as if a truck that is loaded down and weigh potentially 80,000 pounds is dangerous on the road. These babies be loaded down and will drag you some yards if you aren’t careful. They should really teach 18-wheeler safety in driving school, hell in school period. These trucks are carrying literally everything that we use on a daily; your food, clothes, TVs, phones, shoes, pretty much anything you can think of. Be courteous and stay out of their way. I’ve learned so much and have a different kind of respect for these people….yes Jessica is a trucker, but you know how the saying goes, “You gotta experience it fa ya own self.” This is something that I never would have thought of myself to do, but here we are. I do suggest it for those of you who like to travel, and have adventures, like myself and Jessica.
Lol now I am not a trucker yet, but I am well on my way.
