Taught myself how to float the gears. Now I'm 50. I've been driving rigs longer than 26 yrs but didn't start to get serious about it until I was 26 or 27. Went into the army drove rigs there (88 mike). I trained most of my squad...you know newbies E- nothins all the way up to buck privates and E'4's. Drove fuel tankers mostly. Also was 82nd airborne paratrooper. Served in 9/11 Afghanistan. When I got out that's when I decided to get my CDL. And have loved it since. My wife loves it to. I've been with my beautiful wife since 90', since she was 15, we've got 2 awesome boys. And I told them I don't want to ever hear about them driving no rig.
