Fleeting Friendships

[/center]Hey, how ya doin?
Not too bad, how about you?
Oh you know, grab a little freight
Try and turn a mile or two.
Some days are better than others
Some, I travel quite a bit.
Sometimes the freight just won't move,
And all you can do is sit.
Gets a little lonely sometimes,
Missin the wife and home.
Yep, I understand the feeling
I drive cause I'm all alone.
Sorry to hear it, I sure wish you well,
Here comes a dispatch
Soon enough, I do tell
Keep er straight,
And you be safe
Might catch you on the flop.
But if I dont get the chance
To see you again,
Keep the right side on the top.

hey carl, feelin' the pinch?
i've been really slow too but at least i get home everyday.
it's a tough way to make a livin' nowadays but it's what we've chosen 10-4?!
God Bless.

That came to me at a pick up location, talkin to a driver from FL. I just started otr. Bills wern't quite gettin paid, haulin oxygen. Think this will be better, soon as I learn all the ropes. My sweetie pie of 25 beautiful years is with me. Helps a lot.

that makes all the difference that she is with you i know just how comforting that can be.
aggravating too some times, my honey always wants to drive from the passenger seat...LOL!! You're hauling the very breath of a "Craftsman", how cool is that?

Love the conversational tone here. It really brings out what it might be like on the road for the rest of us. I just love you two truckers.

A trucker met his end unexpectedly, while driving veered from the road to avoid hitting another vehicle out of control.
met by St. Peter at the Pearly gates the trucker was amazed to see brand new bright shiny trucks of all different kinds as far as the eye could see. St. Peter said: "take your pick of any one and go anywhere you please." The trucker asked: "So many trucks and drivers yet nothing is moving, how can this be?"
St. Peter replied: "well, to be quite honest, we just haven't had a dispatcher make it here yet."

You're too much! Love it.
