The Start

I had spend two years in the business of integrated retail. One may ask, "Well what is that?" To explain it in plain terms I worked at a retail store and I received the orders that where placed online and I retrieved the items(usually from the shelf of the store). I gathered the items packaged the order either for shipping or in store pick-up. Now on a general case this process went smoothly and one would receive there order in a timely fashion. 
 There of course where a few problems here and there and this blog is about one of my most famous lines when I was working integrated retail. On occasion the item ordered was not in our store or even in our distribution center, the order has to be shipped from the manufacturer to the distribution center then to the store. Now when this took awhile a good many customers had complaints and this is where when they called and asked "Where is my order?" And all I could answer "We are waiting for it to come off the Truck". This what this blog is about the Truck that no one really seems to know where it is or why it hasn't arrived or at least the general consumer does not know anything about the trucking industry, besides the fact the item you need us on a truck. Now in July of 2014 I met my fiance he just happened to be an over the road trucker. in October of 2014 I decided to hit the open road with him and see the U.S.A. in the only way I could possibly see it with the little money I did have was in the cab of his Truck. Now I got permission from his company to allow me to travel with him in mid December I have been in this truck with for only a month and I feel compelled to write about the journey and just some of the ridiculous and insane things I have learned on the road. And I met quite a few interesting people as well. So I am inviting you to come along on my journey of this mysterious world.
