My friend

And good for her, I'm sure she'll be just fine.

I love it! Wishing her a safe and successful trip.

Hats off to a great guy and great father!!

Congrats😀

I'm sure she misses you, but I bet she feels like a million bucks.

Congratulations on helping her to get her confidence so she can make it on her own!!

a specific date in mind, or just when the time is right?

it may be sooner, which I won't complain about.

of her we all are?

A little story about women truckers: Many, many years ago, I was driving a large u-haul from Colorado Springs to Lake Tahoe. Stopped in Wendover for a break. In the restroom were two young girls, who were thrilled when they heard I was driving a truck, having never heard of a woman trucker (I know, u-hauls don't count! They thought I was driving a rig!). I told them that if that was what they wanted to do when they grew up, they could go to school for it. (Yes, even back in the dark ages, there were women truckers. One of my uncles (a long-hauler) worked with several.)

I hope I was at least able to let them see possibilites, not just pre-determined paths.

She loves the open road, she's single, independent and confident of her driving skills, as am I, otherwise, I would still be riding with her.

on Ice Road Truckers?

I never watched Ice Road Truckers as it didn't pertain to me or her.

that's when IRT looked cool.

Did you finally retire? Or did something happen that forced you to retire......

I, for one, always enjoyed your input and commentaries....

Be Well, MCE

I'll probably be retiring sooner rather than later.

that your body just can't handle it anymore........

Hang in there as long as you can, and please keep up your entries and commentaries.......

We all have missed your input............

...but not in envy. She must be very brave and confident. How old is she?

I trust no one in a car (or truck, or on a motorcycle) - not the people next to me, not the people in front of me, not the people coming up behind me, and certainly not the people coming toward me. If I am waiting to make a left turn and my arrow turns green, I always wait for the 3-5 people I know are going to run the red light. Driving is one of my least favorite things, so driving for a living would be one of the very last things I would want to do. And, as my husband would attest, I'm not much better as a passenger - a real nervous Nellie. I would happily get my molecules scattered and reconstituted in a Star Trek transporter - .

More power to her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How lovely that the family business is staying in the family. Good luck to your granddaughter!

You’ll be right there beside her the whole trip.

He always said, If you got it, a truck brought it. 😉

And confidence in and of her own self.

Congratulations MCE and granddaughter!

is my co-pilot.

Does that mean you get a new Peterbilt?

and, unfortunately, I do not.
