Have you ever driven a semi truck?
« on: February 09, 2015, 07:42:45 pm »
Twenty years ago I drove a semi with my husband and we got to enjoy the states getting paid for it. There were so many things we did together it felt like a second honeymoon. I am so glad we did this together. And driving was very interesting because I got to realize how some 4 wheelers were very unsafe to be near.

No, but I always thought it would be neat to be a truck driver and get to see the country.  We had friends who drove a big truck and had visited all 48 states within the U.S. and got paid to do it!

No I have never driven a semi truck.

I have driven a Ford Econoline 1 Ton truck when I drove my sister-in-law to Mexico when she moved there to retire.

I have always wanted to be able to drive a semi-truck but don't have the ability and no truck to learn with.  As much trouble as I sometimes had backing a horse trailer I don't think I would have been a good semi driver.

In my younger days. I learned to drive one when I was 14.  My uncle at the time had a large farm and I hauled grain, also drove the bob tail trucks, tractors.  Not as easy as you think and back then a lot harder the were not as fancy as now. I grew up on farms and married a farmer. Wives learned to do it all at one time or another .

No, I haven't and I don't think I want to learn either. Just doesn't seem like the type of thing I would want to do.

I have never driven one and have never been inside one either. I think it would be a really interesting line of work and I have considered before. Maybe some day I will enter that sector.
