Woot Woot
Juss' a couple cool cats rollin' on down the highway...
I am now entering into my 32nd year of moving freight with a large vehicle called a semi truck. A tractor trailer combo. Some may call it a "Prime Mover" I am a professional driver, a small business owner that is considered an owner operator in the formerly "united" states of america holding what is called a class A CDL license. (Commercial Drivers License)
I do believe I could give a tΜΆhΜΆiΜΆrΜΆtΜΆyΜΆ ΜΆmΜΆiΜΆnΜΆuΜΆtΜΆeΜΆ 3 day long speech on the cons,
the negative aspects and pitfalls of the "American Trucking Industry."
Maybe 5-10 minutes on the pros, the positives of the industry.
There are many drawbacks to the trucking lifestyle. I can speak to them in detail having personal experiences of living thru many years of these bad experiences. Witnessing many others going thru them also.
I do not wish to do a long ranting post that will just come across as pissing and moaning.
So I will do the 10 minutes of Wooo Hoooing about how great it is to be my own boss. To work when I want to. Making great money...
Ahh shit, I did not even make it a minute. The money used to be great.
Let me try this again.
There is the freedom of the road...
No wait, β points every few hundred miles where you are put under a law enforcement microscope.
Pulled over and ticketed
I have gotten to see some parts of this country that are very impressive. That is a bonus. I just wish the weather was better. LoL

Ahhh crap, back to the cons again.

Let me try this Pros & Cons thing one more time.!!
Out here on the highway I have had many encounters with animals of all kinds. I have rescued many kittens. I have fed 100's of stray homeless cats that struggle to survive in this cruel world. I just wish I could save more of them...

The Pros are Few...
The pros may be few, but I do believe they outweigh the Cons. So I will keep on truckin' and I will keep on rescuing animals.
The most dramatic, scary and dangerous rescue was the orange tiger stripe kitty that I juss call "Lil Guy." He rides along part time with me and my full time co-pilot and very first rescue kitty Sammi Jo.

Emotional Out Burst Warning and Disclaimer
Kittens are this KrazzyTruckin' Super Truckers kryptonite. So my emotional reaction to seeing this little ball of orange furr looking up at me just seconds after being nearly ran over. Tires missing him by millimeters. I totally lost it thinking I could not save him and being overwhelmed by the helplessness of it. A bit embarrassing. But true raw emotion.
When I think of the Pros of these rescues. It is the only thing powerful enough to overcome the Cons.
I could probably dig deep and do a balanced speaking event for 30 minutes on the Pros & Cons of a career in trucking. For the kits I could do that.
Thanks for riding along with @KrazzyTrukker and the @Krazzy-Kitty here in the #weekend-engagement community. Powered and Driven by some awesome Aussie we know only as @galenkp
Keep on KrazzyTruckin'
I'd sit through that three fucken day speech man, as long as there was snacks!
I'm sure listening to your will be entertaining, especially if you are accompanied by the frozen tundra and those cats, I'd listen to it too for sure. I don't know anything about trucking so it'll be helpful too, in some ways.
