    Wow Wow 🤩 you all are so brave, I stop by your video because this my my grandson 3rd day on the road in training learning to drive a 18 wheeler and yesterday he got so frustrated he said he had to pull over because he couldn’t think, so I started yesterday watching different videos to get an ideal of what may be his biggest challenge or what may cause the most frustration, so I will know how and what to pray about. Thank you.

    I used to ride in 18 wheel truck back in 2004 or 2005 at first I got a little nervous but that's okay I also had trouble getting it because basically I could barely get on the seat itself. However I enjoyed it and besides that I sure love to do that again one of these days well hopefully with a lady trucker I think she's more better than a man trucker that is
