Unveiling My Hidden Gem Lunch Spot On The Road To Billings Montana & Yellowstone National Park!

Truck Driving Adventures | Trucking Through Yellowstone
Hey guys! FX has been keeping me extremely busy, as expected. This week, I went to Billings, MT, twice, and to La Grande, OR. I hope everyone is enjoying the amazing scenery I'm getting to explore! One of my main goals is to show people that truck driving is not just being a "truck driver", but also being an adventurer, explorer, traveler, wanderer, and so much more. Enjoy this trip through Yellowstone National Park, and I'll see you guys in the next one!

[@MrSun624]

@@rxpujari_ka28 I am living in Washington state. In my state, you have to be a permanent resident, aka green card holder or US citizen to be eligible for truck driver. And you have to have a comercial driver license issued by US federal agency. So your international driving license is only good for driving nomal cars in the US for a period of short time, let alone big trucks.

SOMEONE ELSE WHO GETS THE PROBLEM WITH DRY SANDWICHES

[@ninjasquirrel9744]

Exactly what I was thinking haha!

[@EspenX]

Europe here, but have you ever tried to solve that problem with some vegetables? Some slices of cucumber, peppers, salad or some slices of tomato? Mayo is not the only way to get a sandwich less dry. :) ...and to be even more European, buying real bread (not the plastic covered, white wonderbread that lasts forever) will make your sandwiches less dry - and add some fiber to your diet. I know I live in a part of the world where buying fresh bread is the norm, but the wonderbread Americans eat, scares me. Bread is supposed to get moldy after a while, it is nature s way of telling you not to eat it.

[@ninjasquirrel9744]

@@EspenX I'm from Texas and hate Wonder Bread. I usually put mayo and tomatoes on my sandwiches to make them less dry.

[@larrybe2900]

@@ninjasquirrel9744 BLT............

[@frantikfueled]

Fry or boil some eggs beforehand. Cucumber, egg, butter, some ham with rye bread. Rye bread better to keep off from being hungry and it's not dry with egg and cucumber. And as EspenX said, some salad will make it even better :)

[@cameltanker1286]

When I was a trainer, I could not stress enough the need for proper route planning. I always had to remind my trainees that they were going to be paid by "Airplane Miles" and not the actual miles driven. So, miles save was money and time in their pockets.

[@stephaniefoster2899]

I'm trying to convince my husband that we should team drive in our retirement. I'm open to any advice team trucker couples have regarding how to get started or anything related to driving truck with your spouse.

[@farrah3957]

@@stephaniefoster2899 do you already have your cdl? I recommend a school, not attached to a trucking company. That's what my husband and I did. After school that meant we had no contracts and could go to any company we wanted. My husband trained for 3 months and then I joined him as a passenger for 6 months. We evaluated how we felt, if it was a good fit and then I went to school. School took 1 month and it was so fun. Then I trained with the company for 3 months and then joined my husband where we super soloed for 1 month then drove team. Teaming is so fun, but also hard. You really have to make time for each other and sacrifice time out of your sleep if you want to maintain healthy relationship. Taking time between drives is also a choice, but I don't recommend it if you're out to make some money. My husband and I drove 10hrs a day, or close to, EACH. But what's great about running hard is you have more money in the bank and can vacation anywhere really.

I’ve thought about being a trucker for years, but I learned many years ago to not live to work. Work is just something we have to do to make money to support whatever lifestyle we have.
