Profile For Josepha F.

Hello! I'm a writer (and aspiring author) and for the past two months I have been inspired to write a story surrounding a character who does OTR truck driving for a living. I've been trying my best to do the proper research to understand the technicalities of this job and will continue to do so- but once I stumbled across this site and started reading from these forums, my inspiration has reached entirely new heights. Reading real trucker's stories, advice, and differing perspectives has been so rewarding and has really helped shape my idea for this character and their lifestyle. While I've learned a lot so far and will continue to read existing threads, I figured I'd post my own to see if anyone wants to add a personal story, anecdote, or really just any information they think might be helpful and/or give me deeper insight into the life of a truck driver. Quite literally ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is welcome, I've been having so much fun just digging deeper into a life I know nothing about, and would love to create something that encapsulates the experience accurately.

I have so much respect for this occupation, and the more I learn, the more that respect grows. This story is in the very beginning stages and I would love any help I can get to turn this idea into something real. My dream has always been to create something meaningful that connects with people, and I'd love to start that process by communicating directly with the people I'm writing about.

Thank you! <3
