Got to love sitting on the interstate with your brakes in.

Hello! Long haul truck driver, amateur drone pilot, truly bad banjo picker. Expect photography and long silences 🇨🇦🏳️🌈 He/Him and in a wonderful relationship with @starlightserpent 💓 (My opinions are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer)
When they find out I don't have a degree some people look at me like an ape who can beat them at wordle
I am parked between two Reapers tonight and they are so fucking loud
You know it's a terrible combination? A tall profile, food grade, spring ride, tank trailer. This thing is surging and rocking back and forth like crazy. #LongHaulLife
Went through Newark New Jersey today. Christ that airport is huge. If you live in Newark, do you get used to the smell after a while or, like, is it just sort of omnipresent there in the back of your mind?
I mentioned off-handedly that there wasn't much going out this week and my dispatcher said we have majorly scaled back production because there's some uncertainty with the tariffs. That fuckwit Trump is directly hurting my paycheck.
My Peterbilt didn't have the proper permits for this run so work stuck me in somebody else's truck. Feels like I'm driving a spaceship. #LongHaulLife
If anyone likes The Elder Scrolls I suggest looking at Lantern of the Laughless Saint. It's a ScrollsLike that's done a good job of capturing that Morrowind feel. It's been a ton of fun. Still in early access, but it's fully beatable and has lots of content. Including caked up mushrooms.
I think the boss man is ticked that I called out a second day, cuz I did not receive a dispatch for tomorrow lol
Head cold and migraines still going strong. Time to sit in the shower with a ginger ale and contemplate having a physical form
they know we don't want it. they do not care.

Just had another one of my wild wasteland moments here out on the highwayHelping out a couple green horns that some jackass decided to stick in a truck and make them run team. One dude had 6 months experience, the other dude had 2 weeks.
I want the meta Ray-Ban glasses, I feel like they would be good to make trucking content, but I also don't want to be giving money to meta, and they tend to send certain messages about the wearer that I don't really want lol.
Ain't having good luck with the truck stop food on this run. Decided to be lazy and had a spicy chicken sandwich from Flying J and now my mouth tastes really chemically.
Every ounce of my common sense is telling me not to eat this.
How it feels to be overworked, but trying to remind yourself to be happy that at least you HAVE a job.
Just put my raincoat back on, and it was raining so hard earlier today when I pre-tripped my trailer that I just found, hours later my pockets were actually full of water lol.
Updating the old features on my house always brings me a certain sense of pride. That porch light hasn't worked since before I moved in.
The cool thing about servicing your own equipment is, at the end of the day, it'll either return to being whisper quiet, or it will be non-functioning.
Y'all I am so satisfied. Look at that lobster bisque. Absolutely blew my shoes off. I think that might be the most delicious bisque I've ever had, and the cheesecake gave me a physical reaction.
I can clean up a bit in the truck if I need too. Glad I brought one of my nicer work shirts.
Did my delivery at Moosehead this morning, and I decided to park my truck, put on a nicer shirt, and take a taxi into St John to be a bit of a tourist for a few hours. Super excited to get some seafood.
I'm not sure which one it is, but one of the mechanics that my work dumps all of the air out of my seat every time he moves my truck. I know none of them are taller than me, which leads me to believe one of them is an absolute poser. Lol.
Driving through an intense storm yesterday I put on Luke Combs "ain't No Love in Oklahoma." And it definitely changed the mood. I felt excited at first, but then I remembered I haven't seen the second movie, and it didn't go so well for the tanker driver in the first one.
If you chubby fetish accounts don't start acting more normal in my DMs, I'm going to go on Ozempic so help me God.
