As an ex and retired over the road driver i know EXACTLY what yer going thru.  You have managed to put/keep it in perspective from what i'm reading.  Going and coming back from Church sevices this morning run up on a few drivers that are still not home either.  Merry Christmas to all the drivers out there that are pulling hard for home. RIDE SAFE. |

I know how ya feel Brother.
For 32 years I was never home on a Holiday.
That was almost a requirement to try and keep the roads safe from the DUI people.
Hopefully I helped save several lives, if so, then it was well worth it.

Good for you Fudgie. After my kids were grown, I volunteered on many holidays for the guys who had young ones at home. Last night I was coming home from a dinner with friends and saw a couple of semis on runs around midnight. I couldn't help but feel for them.
