Nevertheless, I still love the trucker way of life. But what I love most about this job, more than anything else is driving through the empty desert. The silence, the natural beauty of the landscape. The desert affords you the right balance of solitude. Just you and nature. You either feel transported back in time among the first settlers of the west, or to the distant future on a far-off desert planet. You lose your thoughts in the desert – it absolves you of them.
