Jongo's Adventures In Trucking - 1 Month In
Thought I would switch things up tonight....
Maybe even start a new weekly series :)
I'm calling it....Jongo's Adventures In Trucking!
Just going to share my experiences on the road as I dive into this brand new career. The high's the low's and everything in between.
Thought it would be a good opportunity to not only share it with you guys but also as a record of my travels and experiences as a brand new trucker...
Excuse me, professional driver :)
Hope you guys enjoy episode number 1......
Not planning on uploading this stuff anywhere but here on @threespeak As there are plenty of options out there on YouTube for trcukers sharing their travels.
But none so far here on the blockchain ;)

That's great to hear. I think once my youngest is out of high school, I may have a go at trucking.
It's a very cool industry. You have to love to drive though for sure.
Good to see your adventures are now being documented in podcast like this. :)
Yeah thought it would be a no brainer for content on chain.
It's nice to hear that you are doing well even if it's hard to be away from family. Just wondering, how long does it take for them to assign you a load?
Man, million dollar question....We've been here for 24 hours at the truck stop now.
Dude, you should get a dash cam I bet you could get some killer footage.
Yeah man, there are a lot of nice truck stops in the U.S. both the two
that are close to me are nice, one of them is huge and gets over filled.
The 595 Truck stop takes like 450 trucks and I have seen the road leading
up to it lined with parked trucks on both sides a few times.
I'm a beast when it comes to driving for long periods but I don't think
I want to drive anything that big. I'll stick to the smaller vehicles. lol
Some of these stops are so massive but fill up pretty much every day before 5pm. It's crazy to see. So many trucks out there.
You seem to be enjoying your trucking life. Helps a lot that you love driving.
Yeah man, I'm really embracing it.
Good to see that. Been a while I had time to watch weekly series though
Hope you enjoy it
I actually see this as an improvement and ot is very good to know
Keep it up!
Oh it's always an improvement.
Are you going to end up like one of those truckers on YouTube that records video of all their drives and shares all the crazy stuff they see on the road? Those vids suck me in all the time!
ha ha ha who knows. i'm not the best at the editing, so it'll be mostly me on camera ranting lol
Ah, okay. I am good at editing, but I suck at all the other stuff! Like being engaging and entertaining!
