Grandpa, some questions.....

I was thinking this morning about truckers. I'd love to know how many states you've seen. It must be many!

[GRANDPA]

Of the Lower 48, all that's left for me are North Dakota & Vermont. I've not gone into Canada or Mexico as a trucker, & probably won't. Of course, some states I spend a lot more time in than others. New Hampshire, I've only been through on I-95, about 20 miles, but I still count it. Thanks for asking.

That is amazing! I know it must be hard on your family, but after all these years, and with cell phones, they're probably more comfortable with it. Safe travels my friend.

My BIL was a long haul driver.
My husband planned to make a ride with him when husband retired. Unfortunately the BIL died 6 months before my husband retired.

I think the job would be interesting, with all the things to see, but lonely. At least now there is technology to keep you in touch with family.

[GRANDPA]

Thank you. It's not an easy lifestyle. This was just supposed to be a backup job, purely temporary.Cell phones realy have been a big help to stay in touch with the family. I would still rather go back to being a cubicle dweller & home evrry night, regular hours & time off.

I have been by far to more countries, 27, than states, 14, thanks to the USN.
