Default Great day!

I woke up today and just wanted to go for a ride! I work weird hours( 2:30pm to 2 or 3am) Driving an 18 wheeler for UPS. So I ask the wife if she would like to ride and get lunch and she said yes So we get on the bike and take a nice little ride and get lunch, As we are eating a little shower passes through and no big deal, we took the long way home and it was a good day!!! Just had to tell someone!!!

Those are the BEST rides.

My wife is off on Thursdays and I used to plan my day to be home by 2 or 3pm. We called it our date night and would look forward to a nice long ride to dinner. Well my new job as of a year ago tracks me with my phone and company car. Got to take PTO to make it happen so it does not happen much.

Thanks for getting my UPS packages her on time!

Ride safe

I have nothing but respect for you guys and gals that haul goods for long hours so when I go to Walmart or Home Depot the shelves are always full.

Very similar happened to me on Saturday past.... Impromptu ride, caught in the rain with no rain gear, laughed like idiots... Great ride too!

Not wanting to hijack here... I’m reading about truck driver shortage nationwide. 51k drivers short. This article is about no one wanting an 81k a year job and this is jacking up prices.

I have been trying to get my youngest into driving so he can have a stable career.

Think I’ll direct him to this thread! Maybe he will look into working for ups!
