Hard day. Winds over 50 mph most of the way. ^#*%ing tourists/skiers on the road. After all these years, still get satisfaction from doing a job most can't, or won't even try. Nice to hear the customer say, "Can't believe you came today".
Going back without the 4600 pound load was harder. Several, "Here, hold my beer. This could get interesting" moments.
Now back in the den with an adult beverage, warmed up tasty leftovers, and lots of your postings to read. Life is good.

Oh man, that does NOT look like fun! Glad you made it back okay!
I was an owner operator for a couple years. I loved taking loads down south in the winter as I knew there would be plenty of good paying loads heading back up north because the majority of southern based truckers would turn down those loads.
Also, when a winter storm would hit those same southern states it made for clear sailing for this born and raised upstate New Yorker(from one of the major snow belt areas) as most of them would be terrified to drive in it.
@ NFO. Thanks. Not too bad with good equipment. Bad when you have a POS with bald tires but still need to get there.
@ Scotty. LOL; at least they had the good sense to stay off the road.
You know that you enjoy the adventure EVERY time so quit with the whining. No one is going to give you any sympathy...especially your favorite
Sisty
Oh joy! Unqualified support from my sibling.
Would have loved to been able to park but, those truck payments had a way of motivating a person! It was all about the bux!
@ Scotty. Trucking and farming; two occupations where the expenses never stop, and the income often does.
