No ride out of Madison yet. I was talking to some truckers in the truck stop restaurant last night when one of them (Jason Stanish) said I was welcome to crash in his double sleeper for the night. We headed out to the truck a little after midnight and shot the shit until after 2:00. We've been hanging out shooting more shit all morning. It seems like I should be out there trying to get a ride, but Jason's really cool, so I don't mind neglecting my duties. Besides, I think he has said he might give me a ride if he can get something going west after he drops this load in Indiana. It sure is taking me a long time to get out west, but maybe it's not such a bad thing. I mean, everything I've done so far seems to have led me to the right places and the right people at the right times, so I don't force anything (except when I become infatuated with some chick). Regarding Lidia: I've just about
put her out of my mind. I'd still like to get to know her, but I'm almost past the point of caring.

What was it like, sleeping in the truck? Did it feel claustrophobic, or was it comfortable?
ReplyDelete[Answering your question almost four years later.] It's not bad sleeping in trucks, especially in Freightliners like Jason drove (with a double bunk). If they're moving, that's usually a much different story, though. Jason (with whom I've remained buddies, as you've noticed on Facebook because he "likes" every comment) is a freak who turns his AC on as cold as it will go when he sleeps, so it's a little tougher to sleep in his truck than others. I'm talking 60 degrees or less; it was freaking cold in his truck.
ReplyDeleteSome trucks can be claustrophobic; mostly only trucks without double bunks, though. Those things are a lot bigger inside than they appear from the outside. Most of them are almost like a small room behind the cab.
