@jaime thanks for the edit on the truck. my dad has driven Peterbuilts, a Mac, Kenworths and until his death was driving a Freightliner. He always disavowed the Volvo’s. Thanks again. I imagine Eric is fortunate to have you as an editor for his writing.

Bryan,

My dad is a trucker to this day, but he smoked a pipe rather than cigarettes. Did you know you started with him in a Kenworth and switched to a Freightliner? Yeah, only a trucker’s kid would notice. I can picture the whole thing in my head though. Thanks for the memories.

You need to write a book…your writing style keeps the reader feeling like they were right there…step by step! When will the story continue???

Awesome man…so true, I’m the son of a trucker as well. The comparisons fit well with military life as well (my dad retired from the Army prior to driving). Can’t wait till May when the ride-alongs with my dad’s company start back up…
