G,day Everybody, like my old shipmate Dave Wilcockson, I am a member of the wonderful Ships Nostalgia site. A few years ago, I had the seamans urge to travel again. No ships left nowdays, or none that I would want to sail on anyway, so, I decided to go trucking, in the USA. After a long time spent getting visa'a etc, (driving there can easily be done illegally, but I wasnt going that way) I finally ended up in Arkansas with a small/medium trucking company . Small meaning at that time they had 450 tractors and over a thousand trailers. Went back three times and worked with a great company there, CalArk, would go again tomorrow but I suspect that the years have caught up with me. When I read the journal I kept last time, the most common comment was "I'm getting to old for this!". Still had a great time though!
