    There’s absolutely no way you can make it in trucking on your own , without SOMEBODY to call on in time of need . Be thankful

    Gerald. Good to have connections around your circle. That was a win-win getting that belt to offload. That’s what it’s all about brothers helping brothers all this other crap doesn’t mean anything.👍👍👍

    Mr Gerald he said another great video. He also said he really like to have some of that steak you were grilling. He said during spring summer and fall he was never more than 3 hours away from home. October to March he was on the highway home every weekend. He has a question for you how long have you been trucking. And he also wants to know if you're still going to be doing videos on your local adventure. He also wonders if you've been hit with all that bad weather lately. If you have we hope you're safe. He also thinks he should have a two truck fleet do you like the opening pictures that look cool. Have great and smooth adventures be blessed. The beast was put in by the ex-wife I have to get some notary. Thank you again Mr Gerald he loves your videos. Who's getting better everyday. Thank you again

      David the steaks have been good! I’d love to cook you one! I have been trucking full time since 98. I’m third generation and started holding the wheel when I was 7-8 years old in my dad’s lap in an extended hood 359 of course!! I’ve been driving ever since my feet would touch the pedals. Use to pull trucks up in line while the guys talked trucker bs. Trucking has always been my life and probably always will be

    I live in a small town, and I know what you mean. I WAS one of those, " up at 1:30, and home by maybe 4:30 guys for thirty years. It's tough, but I got to most all my kids games and stuff. Not much sleep though! Take care. Todd the retired trucker.

    Gday Gerald
    If it wasn’t for bad luck you wouldn’t have any luck at all mate
    I’m really glad you are taking a few days to spend with your family and try to get the stress levels down !
    Working locally for a while might be just what you need to get back to normal and take away all of your stress because it looks like you are really run down
