You'll definitely always remember your first!
My first was back in '93. I remember every moment of it. I remember pulling out onto the highway, hittin the gas, grabbin my first gear, and thinkin "Yeeeeeeeeeah!!!!!!!!! Drivin a real rig!!!"
I remember when my turn was over and I pulled off the road, I got out to look at that monster and thought "My God I can't believe I just drove this building on wheels down the highway! Amazing!!!"
What could be cooler than getting to drive a rig? One of the coolest things you can do.
I agree with you Brett, I hopped down out of that truck and when I realized that I had just driven that baby was one of the coolest things ever!!
You are right Ken, it is like your first love, first kiss, first....you get the picture!
