","text":"living in a truck is a challenge, you have to learn how to make it your home, have what you need to take care of yourself,,, I carry food, water, extra clothes, medical supplies, microwave, refrigerator, coffee pot, electric skillet,,,,don't let the people in front of you take your joy away,,let them go around you, set back and enjoy the road ahead, if you can, take pictures of your journey,,don't let dispatch, shippers and receivers stress you,, be kind to those around you,, if you want to know about anything specific let me know, I'll see if I can help","replyToPid":170713}
