Yeah, "like" isn't quite as accurate as "tolerate". I would like to be independently wealthy and never have to work, while I will tolerate driving a truck, being on the road for a week at a time, and making $40,000/year.

You get a per diem with that company? Do you stay under it?
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Neh. I need to get a fridge so I don't have to eat truck stop food, or I'm going to gain back the 30 pounds that I just lost.

Hazards of the trade. Yes, you need a fridge, and a way to cook your own meals; even if its a coffee can tied to the exhaust manifold with bailing wire.

Too bad this job is only east coast. Traffic and mountains. That's why it pays more per mile than other over-the-road droving jobs.
