<--- Semi educated Greek redneck
This is the semi
Drove from 1998 - 2007 with my father on a dedicated run hauling textile from a mill in Greenville, SC to Otay Mesa, CA - every week .
We would leave SC Saturday around noon and be backed into the dock @ 2-3 am on Monday morning in CA.
On our trip back east we hauled toys to a toy store in the Mills malls like Phoenix , Houston, Orlando and then Nashville.
Trucking used to be fun, in the early days. It became just a bunch of idiots playing on the CB and generally being assholes.
To those of you that still drive , my hats off to you.
I lost the patience of dealing with rookie drivers and traffic.
We spent way too much money on chrome & lights - but it was fun , at times.
