General Impressions

Hello! The Thanksgiving turkey is finally making it's way out of my system. It was a successful holiday; we got the dinner done, and it turned out fantastic, and I also got hold of my two no-good brothers (just kidding, guys!) It was a beautiful day, and a wonderful time was had by all.
Let me just throw some disclaimers at you folks: Yes, I am a professional truck driver, but by no means am I an expert authority on the trucking industry, or food service business. In fact, I
would say, since I've been driving less than five years, that I know less than most drivers out there. I know as much as I need to know to get my job done effectively, no more, no less. See, this is not my lifestyle, this is something I do to put food on the table - I drive a truck, and make food service deliveries. My point? Please don't take these postings as Gospel. These are just my general impressions, opinions, etc. of the business, and I am only one of many. And please feel free to correct, criticize, or praise me as you see fit - I welcome any and all feedback!
Another point: I can be a vulgar person at times. I think you have to have some of that in you to be effective at this line of work. It requires a rugged, sometimes gruff constitution (I'm not even
"gruff enough") We are not business people sitting around a conference table in our Armani suits, sipping lattes. We are truckers: vulgar, crude, sometimes even animalistic in our behavior and talk (e.g you have to pee, go behind a tree, dumpster, etc., whip it out and let it fly)
I promise to try to limit the amount of curse words that make it into these postings. However, they'll be there, so be prepared. Now, let me fire up a smoke and tell you all
about it...

More soon,

Steve
