Already was not going to make Christmas, but Thursday, maybe.
Stuck in a truckstop in North bend wa.
Maybe next year.
Happy Holidays everyone.

1. Been an OTR driver for 30 years.

It is easier to count the number of holidays I've spent at home, than it is to count the ones spent on the road.

You have my condolences, driver.

Bobtail to a movie theater and take in a flick.

No matter what, stay safe.

3. Picked it up

In Greensboro SC a werk ago last Friday.
Stuck in KC a week ago sunday, snow.
Stuck in Wyoming on Tuesday, wind I have 9k lbs.
Had to stop in Rock Springs, WY. to get antibiotics for a infected tooth.
Had to stop in Boise to have 3 teeth pulled.
Got here today, well you know the rest.
Worst load in 27 years of driving...

6. Being sick or needing medical assitance on the road sucks big time.

I had to call 911 on myself a year ago last February while on a team trip to Cali. On the way back I went into a severe COPD episode and had to get taken to the ER from the Pilot in Las Cruces, NM.

Being away from home for extended periods is bad enough. Having to contend with crappy weather is another layer of PITA. Topping it off with a dentist visit in a far away city on Xmas week?

Shitfire, brother!

Here's hoping you get home for New Years, anyway.

I got offered a 40 hour team trip leaving tomorrow and back Thursday morning, but I don't know the other guy so I turned it down. Im taking a down and back to Tampa starting at 1400 hrs tomorrow. I may actually be at home on the 25th for the first time in who knows!

Again, be safe.

Girl friend and buddies wife went on a cruse. I’m here with 3 dogs and a cat. A chance to relax and go jogging.

4. We are home, not having gone anywhere, but our older...

...son (29), who moved to Phoenix 18 months ago, will, for the first time in his life, not be home for Christmas. Our younger one, 27, is not happy about this. Or course, we are not either. He fell in love, and followed his heart from the greater Chicago area to Phoenix.

Here’s a long-distance hug, diver Dave -

5. Thanks, I knew I

Wouldn't make Christmas day, but the weekend for sure. Miss my boys too, 22 and 19. They are collage students now, but still
little boys to me.
Happy Holidays!

9. I'm at home but

I'm always at home. When you do get home you can make the holiday your own, dates don't really matter celebrate on your time.

11. Yes. We'll be going back home later, sometime in January or February.

I don't like traveling around Christmas. Too many people with the flu on every plane.
