THE HOMELESS TRUCKER
We start the show out with some idiocy that goes on out there on the road and in the docs.This has been one of the busiest weeks for us thus far. I haven't stayed out for more than 3 days in a long time. So it was a little tough on the family as my wife was very busy here at home. You take a walk to go get something to eat which there is nothing close to do so and you drop your trailer in a doc door!!
