    CB Radios are an absolute must. I drove in a leased operation hauling for Mayflower from 1971 through 1991. Sometimes though the CB fails. Winter 1978 - 1979, coming out of Seattle and heading for Fargo, ND I encountered a blizzard, complete with heavy winds and 70 below zero with the wind-chill. I ended up with gelled fuel filters and fuel lines and obviously, the engine quit running. Needless to say, I had to pull off on the shoulder. I hollered on the CB for help for a half hour or more while much truck traffic passed me by. Not a single come back asking if I was okay or needed help. In the bunk, I went into my down sleeping back along with my Doberman and we survived until about 5 hours later when a North Dakota State Trooper stopped and banged on my door. Within a half-hour, I was being towed into Fargo from only 30 miles west of Fargo to get my truck running again. So yea, CB Radios do help, but only if those with CB Radios respond.

      I started driving in 1990 and CB's were a great way to communicate, I noticed as time moved forward CB's were less and less used by the otr driver. It got to the point in the 2000's that I didn't turn on the radio anymore.

      @@alexisjoannlouisekaufman6959 Hello. You wrote, "Hi message me" - Okay, I guess your short message could imply I should respond in kind with a short message, so Hi, how are you? I could carry it further. How about: "Anything specific you were hoping I would respond with?" OR, your message reached me at about 2:53 AM here in the Czech Republic. I would say unless you were more specific with what you expect from me as a message then I don't know how else to continue. I could ask you to tell me about you, that would be a good start.
      I should say I am in between sleeps here. I mean my first sleep was from 24:00 (midnight in your world) until old man syndrome woke me at 2:30 at which time I fired up my PC to check email and exchange rates and now I am ready for my second sleep, so you won't hear from me again until I wake the second time.
      How's this for a short message?

And pretty much always did his own maintenance. And I really like Dave there. He knows what he is doing in the trucking world. Guys, I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep em coming.

    It's a lifestyle not a job. Forget about having a family being married with the little house with the white picket fence. Because usually you're always gone. Forget about all the toys too. If you're sitting in that truck that is your toy. you'll spend hours and hours in weeks in months in that truck. I did it for 36 years but I started back in the '70s.

It’s not something to be glorified or encouraged living in a truck for decades. It’s done for the money, a lil of the freedom and not much else. And that works for some and not for others like me. Good on you though man. It is a great career in ways.

    I could never ever live inside my truck full time I can’t even stand being inside my truck for 2 days. Why would someone want to live inside their truck is beyond me and I’ve been trucking for over 17 years now I just can’t find any good enough reason to want too. But big props to him I guess if it makes him happy then it’s alright. I just like women and being social

    On retirement part,

    Point is this, if you can, I mean financially able to retire at ANY age, better sooner then later ... DO IT.
    Do not listen to those "you're admitting to be old" or "you're ready to die" crowds, that is bunch of BS.
