Livin’ the Diesel Dream

Authors Note: this short essay is about a great quote from the book “Rules of the Road”, and why I think it is important to the average person.

When you see the Big eighteen wheelers on the I-80 Interstate, you probably wouldn’t be thinking about how they are possibly afraid of driving a rig that could run somebody over like a mouse. You most likely would only be awing at the custom paint job and all of the aftermarket chrome.

          The person driving that semi probably wasn’t ordered to drive it. They possibly were told that they wouldn’t drive a car for 5 days without crashing. The Burning student was so mad that she wanted to prove herself and that bully that she knew how to drive. So 7 years later, here she is driving a big rig like a pro still living up to what she said in high school.

          This story has a lot to do with the quote “driving makes you a trusting person”, because for example if you where at the White House and they wanted you to drive Obama around, would they just hand you the keys and drive away? No! They would look at if you have a clean record, test you, and question you. And based on that, they would decide on if you are capable for the job.

          What I just said probably came across in a way that is confusing, but if you take your time reading it, it most likely will make more sense. To make it more clearly, you wouldn’t trust a person without a license to transport valuables items! You would find somebody that has experience driving big vehicles and with nothing bad on his record.

          So now your back on the interstate and you see a big rig hauling some tractors, this time don’t pay attention to all for the aftermarket accessories on it, but give your attention to the driver. And if it is a girl, honk your horn in a congratulating style to show your appreciation towards her courage to be with all of the guys runnin’ round’ the states 24/7.
