We have created a series of blogs talking about why we decided to leave our secure jobs as supervisors with health benefits. Both of us worked for Morton County, Bob shop foreman of the maintenance department, Linda supervisor of Data Processing and we were soon to become empty nesters. In this series we discuss how we got our commercial drivers license and what gave us the idea of becoming truck drivers, our start in a tractor-trailer, deciding trucking was not for us and then returning back home to come up with another plan. We will talk about buying our first truck, orientation, our first load, and learning to sleep in a moving vehicle. Also discussed it how we learned to sleep in a moving vehicle and ideas to not become recluses.
