A lot of my friends father's were truckers. Most don't know how to make a living away from a truck. I tried it - ten years with the USPS. Not the job for me - so back in a truck. One of my buddies quit driving and did some mechanic work. He told me he spent all his days looking out the window watching the trucks go by. But, I'd have to say that a large portion of us have learned some sort of balance - we don't necessarily live and breathe trucking and actually try to have a life away. I earn less money, but I spend less on the road, too. I'm home a lot. Too much lately. You've always struck me as a pretty balanced personality. You'll always have trucking as a backup, but if you can get your mad 'puter skilz going, it will only be a wistful backwards glance once in a while. You’re absolutely right on the money.
