Probably


Drive until I'm tired
Pull over and bang a hooker in my tractor living room
Get back on the road.



Sounds good to me

it'd be kinda cool for a little while if it was long-haul. i think i'd enjoy it for a few months.

Nope. Car trips make me exhausted and achy.

it's the showering at truck stops and the eating truck stop food or fast food that would get to me.

the driving part would be great, but the lifestyle is what would get to me

I'd like to drive a UPS tractor trailer that has a set, in-state (or semi-local) route where i'd be home after my shift. i wouldn't like to be one of those truckers in country songs that don't see their families for days/weeks at a time.

Yes.

I love driving alone in my thoughts and/or listening to music. I also like driving on road trips.

Bad part is I'm starting to have back problems, and some of my pain goes to my hip after sitting for too long.

I wouldn't want to do that, or farm because I don't have the best eating habits all of the time. I like having a physical job and playing soccer 3 times a week for most of the year. It helps keep my weight in check.

I ate 40,000 bushels of soybeans and 1,000 bales of hay for supper.

I just kept jumping down off the combine to stuff my mouth with those sweet and savory raw soybeans. It's like a drive through where you don't have to pay.

Not to mention you need to harvest soybeans when they're dried down to 14% moisture. I was eatin' them like they were Corn Nuts, now I have no teeth, and I'm forced to a liquid diet, so I consume nothing but milkshakes and gravy.

Just drive it straight ahead? Yes!

Not so much with the maneuvering, I don't think.

My daddy does it

He did long haul when I was younger, and my sister and I got to go with him in the summer. My brother did more trips though because my mom was all "little girls don't need to be in the truck stops" blah. He got to see the redwoods in Cali and all kinds of other cool stuff.

He stopped driving long haul after the truck he owned went off the side of a mountain in the winter in PA. Them winds be crazy.

Now he is home every night driving short routes. He loves it though. He was an officer in the army, has a chemistry degree, yet he loves driving trucks.

I don't think I could, for two reasons

1. I fucking hate driving. I'm constantly swearing at slow people, and cursing my lungs out whenever I catch the ass-end of a light. So if I drove for a living, I would just be perpetually pissed off and probably crush a pedestrian/car with my rig before too long

2. I'm already a borderline-autistic freak. And the social isolation that's part of being a truck-driver would exacerbate my social ineptitude and turn me into a genuine severe Asperger's case. Before long, I'd be unable to converse even with my parents or my best friends of many years. And the resulting loneliness would push me over the edge and I'd drive my rig off the side of a mountain in depression.

It can. I was just back home in Iowa in October during harvest. Here is how a farmer works who doesn't have live stock (a lot don't). Wake up, turn the GPS on in your newer model John Deere. Sit in the tractor all day while it drives itself. When you're ready to quit for the day, you go home and sit in the chair and eat another big meal before you go to bed. My parents had a friend die who was a farmer and was over weight (about 400 pounds). His daily schedule was, sit in the grain truck, eat 5 bags of potato chips, and drink a case on Pepsi. He came out to Durham to go on the Duke rice diet and it helped, but I think he gained some of the weight back before he died of health problems. He was actually on 60 minutes about 10 years ago when they did a story on the Duke rice diet.

^They aren't all like that, but if I was a farmer, or truck driver I could see myself getting fat pretty quick. Most of the truck drivers where I currently work are pretty fat. Riding all day and eating bad doesn't make you skinny.

^^Buy some land, learn how to farm crops, don't raise live stock, buy the nicest machinery you can find, then ride around all day. You have to be willing to work long hours though and on the weekends and holidays.

I could drive a truck for a living. Driving long stretches of highway is enjoyable to me. Minus traffic and assholes.

^^Pretty much my dream. If farming was profitable in this area I'd be a farmer.

depends on what you're farming. beans in the mid-12's up to $13.XX look pretty attractive.
