Over the road

Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.

I have traveled the United States plenty of times as a former truck driver many years ago after my divorce. I did long haul which means cross country 3-4 weeks traveling with a co driver. I have been everywhere, from California to New York, North Dakota to Laredo Texas and it was some of the best times of my life. Before than only places I’ve traveled to was Sandusky Ohio and that was going to an amusement park called cedar point a handful of times. When I was an over the road trucker my co driver and I would sometimes get down time in random cities and get to hang out and check out the city we were in at that time. Some places were super boring but we made the best out of it. I did it for about 2 years and then my kid was born and being gone for 3-4 weeks and home for a couple days, I couldn’t stand being away from my kid for that long and that’s when I decided to give up my keys and be home with my current wife and kid so I can experience being a dad.
