and that was the only way I would be allowed to date, tee hee. Well, I guess I outdid my self this time in that the guy I have been seeing drives a Freightliner. I guess that makes me a trucker babe? mama? bitch? Whatever. Anywho, I've been able to go on a few runs with him down to Orlando or around the city, and I like riding with him. I've wanted to get my CDL, since learning about it will help me understand how to drive a gooseneck horse trailer. I'm not sure if I would want to go into truck driving though... he's had to back the trailers up into some pretty tight places and I'm not sure I could do something like that. Driving a bumper pull trailer and putting it where you want it is difficult enough, I can only imagine how difficult it is with fifth wheel.

I've always been interested in the big rigs, not sure why. I wish I loved to drive as much as he does... If I did, I would quit my job and drive with him. He makes very good money and he is home every night because he takes instate runs. The only thing limiting him is the amount of time that he is legally allowed to be on the road and if he wants to drive that day.

The rig itself is pretty cool. It has a tv, vcr, and frig that all run off the truck. There are two beds in the sleeping area in a sort of bunk bed design. The cab itself rides on airbags, and the seats in the truck are on airbags as well, which makes it a lot more comfortable than you would think. Surprisingly, the truck has cruise control, which I never would have thought those rigs have something like that.

I wonder how long it will be before I'm going to be allowed to drive the truck, hehehe. He's already told me that he wants me to learn how to drive it. I'm definetly nervous about that, but I still think it would be fun. ;)
