The Adventures of Coolaidnate

This book is about some of the adventures I have come across on the road although I did not talk about everything I did it does cover a lot, not every driver handles these encounters the same way I did because we all think differently under the same situations, where I would do something one way someone else would most likely do something else. some may stop at one Truck Stop where others may prefer another. Some may want to work two to three weeks at a time, others would rather be home every week and some might just like being home every night. And then you have some that want to drive Tanker Trucks or Flat Beds. But myself I now like being home every night and I have been out there long enough to enjoy just that.

I started writing this book in 2019 because I wanted to be able to tell someone other than the people I have been telling it to, I can tell by the looks on their faces that they were getting tired of the same old stories over and over again. My son said many times that I was harping! and I have even taken him on the road for about two weeks, And that's how he pays me back? One lady friend of mine said while I was driving a car hauler that I would tell her time after time about the job, about how I would load the cars and sometimes van or pickup trucks, and what chains and hooks go on what vehicle. But there were other times that I would take a lady friend on the road with me for a couple of weeks at a time to keep me company and out of trouble. While riding I would have plenty of time to think and just enjoy life. In this book, I also talk about some of the ladies I meet and some of the things I found myself doing in the name of fun. I put it together for people that are Turck Drivers and for those who want to be Truck Drivers and those that just want to know what Drivers do.

I was born in Tampa Florida in 1951, I lived in Hilliard Florida until I was 17 years old then I went to Rochester new york and this is where I live as of now. I have been a truck driver since 1982 and have driven in or through all of the lower 48 states of America I have met many people in my travels some I still keep in touch with. I have had so many adventures that I felt I should write about some of them. during this time I have been divorced two times, My only son grew up without me but, all in all it has been quit ride.
