Life
I took moyorcycle racing very serious and Itraveled around quit abit.While racing I drove tractor trailers all over the u.s..Latter on I purchased my own &continued to do longhaul work.Eventully Ijust ran regonly.I was home mor so I raced much more.I've been going to car & bike show's with two of my vintage bikes.They have taken a few trophies!I'm no longer riding or working I had a 100mph head on while on my street bike.I tangeled with a p.u..The truck was totaled as was my new bike.I was air lifted and given a 5% chance to live for a week and I beat the odds.I don't know what else to say other then hey man I'm still in n.j. CHUCK
Workplace
I worked very hard and long hours anywhere from 12 hrs to 36 hrs with no sleep or a real break.Hey thats trucking long haul.

s it sounds.Then after three quater of a millon miles she was retiered.Then I got my dream truck another peterbilt only this one was a real show truck.Both truck's i had built to my specs.Idid the same with my trailer.That is when I stated to carry feed to farms and other places that had a need for feed.All miles together ive got around two and ahalf million miles.Man that sounds like alot but IM still TRUCKING STRONG!!Those miles are all accident free and Ive ran in some shity weather.But that is the life i chose.I never married and i really regret it now my dog and i run around on very short trips with our new 2005 peterbilt.Yes I still have the show truck which only comes out of my shop on sunny day's and to go to truck shows she has gotenn alot of trophes I just can't part with her.Sounds funny I know but to me she is alive and Iget alot of fun out of driveing the ol'girl around.If anyone want's to come over you know how to get me.That is every thing in a nut shell.
