Welcome to Ohio – Trucking

It’s a sign along I-70. Seeing this sign probably means I’m headed away from home. Significance? Eventually, I would head away from home too often for too long. I loved being a trucker. It was fun and, in my humble opinion, the absolute best way to see America. But, eventually, being on the road for hundreds of days a year takes its’ toll. I’d never advise anyone with a young family to go over-the-road. You’re gone from home too much. I could write a book on what it’s like to be an over-the-road trucker. Maybe I will. However, in my case, there came a day when I had to give it up.
