Made it back!

Hey Folks!

Well I made it back from my inaugural trip as an over the road Truck Driver! Here's the breakdown:

Went I-40 East and I-10 west, making a big loop through all of the southern states (except Florida) and a little juke north into Maryland where our first destination was going.

So far the job has been stressful, but nothing I couldn't handle. I can already see that, aside from bad weather, this is something I can handle for a while til I can get something local. Should be going back out Thursday morning (June 2) for a similar run.

One thing I can say is this: Tennessee needs to burn its freeway system to the ground and start over, and give everyone in the state a 6 month class on how to drive like a human being. I swear, out of all 15 states, that had to have been the worst. Baltimore's freeway system is a construction zone, creeping through at 15 mph in one lane surrounded by chopsaws and honda civics, but I'd rather do that all day than the stretch from east of Memphis to the east end of Tennessee. Hell I'd rather run over Tehachapi back and forth for 10 hours than go through Tennessee lol.

Well, I'm home now, and its time to catch up on all the sleep and beer I've missed while I was gone. Spend time with the old lady and chitlins and relax for a few days. This blog is now turning into an "update when I'm home" format, since my phone isn't all that great for posting.

See you on the Freeway!
