riding from Boston, MA to San Francisco, Ca
Does anyone have ANY idea how freaking boring it is riding that far in a semi? And KNOWING when you get to the other end you have to unload the stuff that was in a 4 story house...THEN, you get the pleasure of after unloading, turning around and riding back to ga. To top it all off, i forgot my goodie bag with my dvd player, psp, I pod, EVERYTHING!!!
Out of all honesty, I'm just bored and I've read everything on here... Even steves post!! (Not all of them, but more than normal)

We left san francisco mon at 8pm. In texas now, hoping to make it home tonight. I've got to pass time by... He's been letting me drive for 2 and 3 hours at a time. And that would be my first time driving a big truck. Lol, did pretty good, except 2 hills got me, I haven't mastered shifting yet!

Went with a friend from Fresno, CA to Boston in 1985 with semi full of plums. Boring? No shit. On the way back we took the south route, through Memphis an Dallas. The total mileage for 13 day trip was 7,900. At least I took a learners permit right before the trip and drove about 2 K out of the distance to break the rut.

I have a class A CDL, got it 3 years ago.
The old story: if you want a job done right- do it yourself. We were constantly being delayed with our equipment.
Ended up hiring a good family friend soon afterwards to be in charge of the logistics and haven't even sat behind the wheel of a truck for quite some time.
Looking back at it now- I might just have gotten it to prove myself that I can do it, wasn't an actual need.
