Dobbins said his favorite thing about being on the road is the privacy and the control... “If I drive 450 miles and feel like quitting I don’t have to ask anybody. I just shut it down”... And despite all his comments about the negatives of trucking it’s not all that bad, he said... “I do love trucking, to be honest,” Dobbins said. “My wife said she could never imagine me doing anything else. She said I’m really good at it; I don’t know about that”... (Photo by Barb Kampbell/The Trucker - Jack Dobbins loves the freedom of the open road) Labels: truckers' stories
