    <title>Aug 21, Waiting on a check</title>
    <link>http://www.lifeasatrucker.com/askatrucker.html</link>
    <description>Sitting here waiting on my payroll check which was sent to the wrong terminal has given my time say hello just before I go and attempt to answer some of the questions some of you have been asking.  Two of the pages that I just finished will help some I hope.

Been away for a while editing footage and taking care of other things.  I will be attempting to catch a lot of things up in the next few weeks on the site.  Like what's listed on the coming soon page.

Just as soon as I can get the time to finish it.

Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Just wanted to let yall know if anyone is planning to stop at the Flying J on I - 30 at exit 7 in Arkansas just east of Texarkana you might want to may an alternate stop because they have no power for some reason.  Said it will be a while whatever that means.

    <description>I added some pages tonite for drivers to post their trucks.  If any of you used volvos, freightliners, peterbuilts that you want to sell on Life as a trucker.com feel free to upload a picture and a description.  If you know anyone else with trucks for sale please let them know.  I will be adding a page for other equipment, mac trucks, and international truck soon.  

I didn't forget about the other pages.  Just didnt get to it yet.  But I do have a Big Surprise real soon.  I just need a weekend at the house and a few days off to edit some footage and do some writing.

Well you are seeing first hand part of life as a trucker. 

You won't alway have time to do things that you may want or have planned to do.

Imagine how tough a truckers life is for a family man.  So remember these examples of how things go down because it is definitely a representation of how life is as a trucker.  It has to be in you.</description>

    <description>I know I am late but the weekend's not completely over yet so I know some of you are still celebrating.

Besides don't they say better late than never!  

So have a good safe Sunday as you finish up your 4th of July weekend.  Be careful on the highways as you return back home.  I just got through taking a shower and heading down to my Mom's and Pops crib.

Haven't seen them in over a month or so.  
So I look forward to this very short break.  Ok, yeah of course I am looking forward to the grill too.  I hope the rain holds up.  Been an overcast all morning.


By the way on the Dallas page.  I forgot some things so I will be adding this guy that does lettering and chrome shop information when I get to the office. 
Thats where I left their cards.  I will be doing more work to the site other than that before then, but I can't do some stuff that deals with scanning and video editing unless I am in the office at the other computer.

Anyway. . .

I am out, still about 1.75hrs away from my people.

    <title>Jul 1, No excuses but</title>
    <link>http://www.lifeasatrucker.com</link>
    <description>I told yous guys I was gonna hook up the W memphis footage and the Midland footage and I even got w va footage . . . 

and you knew there was a BUT. . . .

I had so much fun talking to people in Dallas after W. Memphis and before Midland that I have been working on that footage and a few more things too.  I will have to do the other stuff when I come back.  The footage I did relates to pages that I will build also so that is another reason I went ahead with that footage first.

In any case, I am tired as . . . right now but I am still up trying to get this stuff here done before I leave cause I can't do it on the road.  

I head out to San Antonio tomorrow so I really should be sleep.  

Tomorrow, I mean today will be a long long day.  So hopefully you will enjoy what I am able to add to the site by the end of the week due to what I am working on right now.

Sorry if you were waiting on the W. Memphis stuff, its really not as good as Dallas anyway.

Well, later for now, I think the video has stopped processing.  I have to make some edits to the other one now.

I hope you sleep well.</description>
