yea i agree with what you say but your looking into a screen and typing what your saying thats connected through tecnology not in person
you go into a truckstop or cafe or whatever these days and everyones sat at a table on there own on a phone or whatever
im reffering to chatting aving a good old laugh and chinwag with other drivers while eating your meal and when parked up at night you would be talking with other drivers not sat in your cab like most do these days
for me the job was better and more enjoyable then than now
I do like bumping into my friends from the last company i worked out, have a few times sat down the docks chatting away for hours on end or going down the pub, much better than chatting to people you’ve never meet before on the internet.
Not a driver but ever since I’ve fitted the cb in my breakdown van I can get through my day a lot better stuck behind the back doors of a few tippers on 19. Love my own company but the misses doesn’t seem to understand that sometimes.
flat to the mat:
Lonely LOL , you don’t know the meaning mate. Just spent the last 31/2 days traveling up and back from borderline the NorthWest Territories , ok Rabbit Lake but seemed more like the freakin middle of nowhere . No roads , no population , no phone ,just snow and forest for company , the odd moose and deer gave me a friendly wave . I did have comms with dispatch via Peoplenet but don’t rely on that at the best of times . Lonely ? Bloody right I was
Pah, that’s nothing, I used to live on the moon.
LOL ,the moon , Wales , in the cab , any wonder some of your posts are shall we say “different” Forward
. Lonely ? Bloody right I was
