Since Then...

Beautiful mountains in Utah

It's been a couple weeks now since we got the new truck, and we've been busy! We put over 6,000 miles on the truck in the first 8 days - Georgia to California to Massachusetts! We're getting to know the new truck's personality, its kinks and quirks and the way it works. It's a 2017, a model year newer than our old truck, and there's definitely a few differences in how it handles.

The reactions we get from people when they see the truck are priceless! Cars on the road sometimes honk and wave, and other truck drivers often do a double-take when they see it. We've had people come up and want to shake our hands, take pictures of the truck, and tell us about their own and family members' military experiences.

We've also been back to our CDL school, Truck Driving Institute, to say hi and show off the new truck. They did an article on us for their national website, too. It was great to go back to where it all started and encourage other people just starting out in the industry.

We are really enjoying driving the Coast Guard truck, and the doors it opens for talking to the people that we meet. If you see us going down the road, be sure to wave!
