Wall Street Journal and the Youtube
So which would make your smile smile wider?
Being in the Wall Street Journal or being featured on Youtube?
Whats that?
Have i ever been in the Wall Street Journal, Oh yeah sure, they did an article once.
But, it was like a fart that im not sure anyone noticed.
OK, thats not to respectful.
Indeed i was flattered, and happy.
I answered some very short email questions for the lady doing the article.
Waited a little while.
Tried to conjure up in my head the image of a man at a breakfast table reading about the enigma - that is me. Perhaps watching a couple videos on the blog.
(im a tuck driver - i talk about driving over here)
And then one day i read the article and that was that.
Couple hundred more hits on the Hit-O-Meter.
Here is the article.
see "Truck Driver Blog"
THANK YOU SAMBA GIRL for sending me this picture of the article!Wall Street Journal big grin. Big big grin.
see [top right picture]
If you are viewing this within the next day or so they put me on this page also.
The video they featured had almost NO editing. No effects no obscure comedy references or cartoons. It was just me talking into the camera about truck safety and i did it in one take. The video was in response to another trucker (Steve) on youtube who i kinda know - (not in real life) and i got inspired to talk into a camera. Something i have a hard time doing because i HATE speaking to inanimate objects.
Ill have a teeth shattering smile if they put me on the front page. Till then.

Oh wow -- congratulations! Again!
Thanks Tonya!
And thank you x10 for sending me that article. I never would have read it otherwise.
My dad's a trucker and has been for as long as I can remember, maybe 17 years, he drives better during the night then he does during the day. He also finds it hard sometimes to have pull over and go to sleep for the required amount because he is wired. Most of those nights he calls me and tells me where he is and what he has seen. He also has been in a truck when the driver has fallen asleep, the driver being his boss, actually.
But anyway this might be a little late but congratulations on the article!!!
