Was he the awesome heavy haul guy? That guy rocked.

Sarcastic remark goes here
He was really young, like 21 or something, and he talked like a retard, .. but he was cool anyway.

I don't know. I didn't see the entire season.
This is Jay Westgard.

Carlile let him go cuz he rolled one and his tendencies were a bit on the wild side of company standards.

I need to watch those again... Don't remember Jay... I do remember that Hugh needs to be punched in the fat.

I like the show, But they really do blow somethings out of proportion.. The season where they gave Jack a "Special assignment" and it turned out of be a load of Jet Fuel.. Really? It's no different than Kerosene.. But most people wouldn't know anything about that.. I would really love to go up there to go with another driver just to have the experience..

Jack Jesse was the HH guy wasn't it? This was the chain smoking kid that held his smoke between his teethe, wasn't it?
i was invited by a friend in Red Lake Ontario to come up and play a couple years ago, damn it though, circumstances wouldn't allow it.
The show though, a lot of fake BS on there, drama for the masses, but I still liked it for some reason.

Ya, you're right, maybe next season. How's it going with you getting there next year? It's sorta late for this year isn't it?

If you don't want to go that far north to try it out, you can inquire with these guys. They operate trucks, as well as build and maintain, on the winter roads in northern Manitoba and northern Ontario. There are some real characters working there. I met those guys over 20 years ago when I ran thier roads for another company.

Its late for this year and next year for me...
My plan was to do 2 years 48 states. This was my second year. Basically, I wanted to do 2 winters, and now I have. In a few weeks I am going to Fed Ex and will be mostly in Seattle and Oregon. I will do at least 1 winter there, maybe 2. I probably should do 1 year of flatbed too before I head up there...
I just want to try it to say I did... My goal is to get up there before I'm 50. I'm almost 45, so I am right on track...
Don't want to get up there and be like DREW on IRT... : )
And for what its worth, I have been wanting to do it BEFORE the show even came out...

This article mirrors an article written by Dave that I read about a year ago.
It may sound naive, but further down in the article, I read a statement that sounded like I wrote it... I really thought I was the only one who felt this way... Through published by someone else, these words are mine.
Real trucking, he says, is extremely difficult work, with little respect for the drivers from anyone...
“...I don’t like truck driving; I DON’T like truck driving! I don’t like doing a job and being treated like a criminal. You roll on the scale, you start sweating like you’re getting arrested, because they pull you in, they’re gonna fine the hell out of you if you did something wrong. The attitude toward truck drivers, even at places that deliver, it’s not good. Truck driving is a terrible, terrible industry.
