I'm not a pro trucker, as in doing it for the daily bread to keep body and soul together, But I'm used to longhaul and shorthaul missions.
Part of living on a farm means a lot of carting livestock around, in fact this afternoon I'm off to go pick up another load of calves from the saleyard for the farm again. While working as a salesman I'd act as liason between our office and the satellite office 600 Km away and would make runs down and back with samples and supplies for the offices when it was so much it wasn't convenient to pack it all and pay courier fees.
Life on the road can be fun, I'm a fan of road trips as a form of holiday
throw a mattress and a gas stove in the back of the SUV and head off for a while
