So, 3 weeks in, over 5500 miles, and lots of coffee later: I'm still liking it. There are some frustrating elements: finding a parking space after 5pm, expecting plants to get their loading done quickly, and @*@%#!*% navigating. I am giving up on the Qualcomm nav system, Navigo. It works pretty well, but is so old school, it doesn't really provide enough detail. Plus, when I am pulling a HAZMAT load, I need routes that don't take me on NO HM roads, or centers of cities. I've ordered a Rand McNally 7" Truckers GPS, man, cannot wait to get that.
I've been through Ark, MO, IL, AL, MS, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Pittsburg and now am waiting on a load in West Virginia (very pretty country here). After I load, it's back the Texas, gawd I need some BBQ.

Neal's been laying them Schneider eggs all over the place.
Have you had any of the four wheelers scare the soup out of you yet?

That's no surprise. Qual is the German term for torment/agony/anguish.

Seeing the US from behind a windshield. Quite a few of my teams are retired couples. Want to see the US and do so in a truck.

Tour the country and get paid to do it. Win, win situation.

Most definitely and the best way to travel the world would be by working on a cruise liner.

Boats sink, I can't swim, I will stay on terra firma thank you. I have never been on an Ocean, nor a lake deeper than 100'. I did puddle around in the Atlantic Ocean a couple of times.

We did 'do' quite a few trips (fly in) to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa and St. Petersburg. Checking out hotels and local touristy spots. St. Augustine has quite a bit of history attached to it.

Swamprat doesn't want to end up on Gilligan's Island.
