Since then I saw a couple more, watching to see if things got better. Today I saw your hood. I subscribed because you are man enough to apologize for things that you have said and you didn't hide anything when showing and taking about your accident. I feel your frustration when things don't go well. Keep your head up and keep moving forward. It is not easy out here. I started trucking in '79 and I am almost 66 years old.
