CHARLIEWHEELS: "The Road Won't go on Forever"

My trucking career began in 1975 “by the seat of my pants”, as they say. The thought of driving a large vehicle all over the country was exciting and was something I had always wanted to do. I had read a tractor-trailer driving manual on the topic 3 times before I went on the road with absolutely no trailer truck driving experience. This occupation is unique in so many ways and full of challenges. However, it is a necessity for our comfort and survival. It is a dangerous and sometimes frustrating career, but as someone once said, “It’s an endless, mindless, thankless job, but somebody has got to do it” Do it right, drivers. Don’t get in a big hurry and mess up your life or someone else's. Safe and intact is the way you want to end each trip. Do not take unnecessary chances with this career! Don’t think that this is an easy way to make a living. It may be easier than a lot of ways, but you really do have to know quite a bit and learn some skills to do it safely. The stories here are true and describe my life on the road from the beginning, all of the way to retirement. Not every story that I have of course, but many of the more interesting ones. Enjoy the ride!
