Drove ILLEGALLY to get to my delivery on time today, because the shipper took 7 hours to load me the day before.
The delivery decided to take 6 HOURS to unload, making me miss my appointment for the second delivery.
Now I’m parked on the shoulder of the highway, hoping to reschedule this drop. 🙃

I know I’m easily overlooked, but I’m RIGHT HERE IN THE GROUP CALL WITH YOU. Like, damn.

I’ve been learning to let people go.
It’s not easy. Especially with the ones you care about, but the alternative of reaching out several times with no response, wondering what I did wrong, is worse.

You guys don’t know how good it felt just to go on a hike. My health problems have been so atrocious that I’ve been terrified to go anywhere that wasn’t near a toilet for YEARS now. I’m not fully healed, but I am getting better.

Right. Tried caffeine again for the first time in a while. That was a mistake. I guess that’s a permanent thing I can’t have anymore. Along with dairy. Great.

I’m so sick of trying to reach out to people I used to consider friends only for them to pretend I don’t exist.

Had to call Disney+ and rip them a new one. They wouldn’t let me sign in because I’d used too many “Away from home” requests.
I’m sorry, I’m a TRUCK DRIVER. I’m “Away from home” NEARLY EVERY DAY.
I just wanna watch Doctor Who 😭😭😭

I wish every person who engineered products with planned obsolescence…
A happy…
Three day long bowel movement that feels like pushing out broken glass.
Sincerely, a trucker who’s having transmission problems on a truck with only 60,000 miles. 🤬🤬🤬

I should have known better than to trust my dispatcher. When he drops the ball, he drops the ball HARD. I promised myself I’d make a point to get home from trucking a day early so I can have buffer room for situations. But I let him talk me into one more run. That makes me miss my hair appointment.

I want to know why I’m so unapproachable? I feel like people go out of their way to avoid me. Is there something I’m doing wrong?

I scramble to do as much as I can when I get home and I never feel like I can fully catch up.

I’d like to extend an unpleasant “F U” to the people that close rest areas. Closing the building itself is one thing, closing the truck parking lot is unacceptable. On average there is 1 parking spot for every 9 trucks on the road. That’s why you see us parked in entrance ramps and side streets.

I know trucking isn’t the most mentally exercising job, but using your head A LITTLE BIT goes a long way.
The driver next to me waited 30 minutes for a door, then pulled out and blocked the parking lot to open his doors and slide the trailer wheels.
DO THAT WHILE YOU’RE WAITING, ya NUMPTY! 🤣🤣🤣

I didn’t say it, and I’ve been trying not to think about it, but I had a bad scare on the road yesterday. I hit black ice and a gust of wind set me sliding.
I was alone on that road.
Nobody would have seen me go over the cliff.
I’m trying to play it off, but I’m still shaken.

Having to use my phone camera to examine parts of my body I can’t see normally (medical reasons) IMMEDIATELY my phone goes “You haven’t uploaded your images to the cloud in a while.
Of ALL things I would never want sent to the cloud. The MOST UNFLATTERING PHOTOS EVER 🤣🤣🤣

Some nights I roll up my weighted blanket and sling it over my shoulder or waist while I sleep. So it feels like someone is holding me.

There has to be an in between somewhere between complete incontinence having to stop (or wake up) every two hours to use the restroom, and spending 2-3 hours a day straight screaming while pushing out blood.
I hope this new medication helps. I’m desperate.

I don’t care if they say property of the USPS these things are like $50 each and were sitting next to the trash can with the driver long gone. YOINK!

My new truck GPS has its flaws, but one that REALLY ticks me off is one of its voice lines.
EVERY OTHER LINE IS FINE, but if you sit still for a bit, it gives the most condescending tone with the line “Continue on Route.”
Like it’s calling me lazy for sitting still. Gets under my skin every time.

I don’t know why people hate on the Jeep Gladiator so much. It’s a CONVERTIBLE. TRUCK.

My parents called me to tell me they’re writing me out of their will for my “terrorist” beliefs. (Anti-Donnie boy)
That’s fine. I didn’t want your boot licking money anyhow.
Keep that in mind when my brother is the only one there to care for you when you get old. He can’t even care for himself.
