    I'm 68 year old guy, and I know nothing about trucking, but I have to admire and rejoice to see such a wonderful upbeat young woman like you enjoying your work, and encouraging others to look at the bright side of life, no matter what their occupation. It is so refreshing to see that you are trying your best to advance your career and explore all the possibilities it offers. This video was especially creative, with the views of Yellowstone. Keep up the great work, be safe, happy motoring, and best regards to you always!!

    One reason I really enjoy your videos and some from other drivers is that it helps me to still feel connected to the lifestyle I loved, I have a friend that is an old school driver like me and I asked him if I would be considered a rookie and drivers blew up my comment basically telling me hell no you would not be a rookie just an old driver that answered the call again, I was told the Truck Driver was a title you earned and anything you earn is yours for life so I still refer to my self as a truck driver that retired to be around for my daughter more, that is when I started driving line-haul for Old Dominion out of the Birmingham, Al terminal

    As a fellow trucker, I'm scratching my head as to why I would prefer to hear you talk about your usual day when it appears to be much like my own... like how you can marvel at a cup of tea or coffee... makes me giggle. I started trucking because of the same reasons you did-- see America, remain independent. I believe a majority of truckers enjoy that aspect.

    This is a good thing and 100% correct. Not all about the money .. At the time of rest, it is great to explore wonderful things, including the picturesque areas or views so that the driver does not get bored of the road and also from that gain experience in coordinating his schedule .. Your videos are wonderful and I wish you all good luck and health Go on

    So I was at Yellowstone last week and I didn’t even know it. Which was funny because after I got loaded in Oregon I had a little conversation about the places I went to and he advised that I visit Yellowstone and was like “maybe one day” and apparently I was there (it was peaceful). I was at that river too, that might’ve been the spot I parked at .

    Machines break, not everyone is on the same page as you and life isn't a straight line. The difference between a good day and a bad day is your ability to deal with it. Surmounting difficulty often gives you a much better feeling about yourself and the world than drifting along. You are capable and skilled, so if you have your health, minus a sore finger, life's good!
