Now I'll be peeking into the cab of every JB Hunt truck for the elusive Trina. Good to hear your back and everything is back on track.

A big "Glad you are well and once again gainfully employed!" from Cow Hampshire! 
I had guessed you were able to go back to work and glad this has been confirmed!
Since there are barely any trains in the entire state of Cow Hampshire, I doubt I'll see you pass through. Keep those goods and products rolling BG, and the rubber on the road!

Welcome back to the land of the gainfully employed! Has JB Hunt ever invested in top-shelf tractors or is it still Freightliner daycabs with vinyl seats and 50-100 less horsepower than you'd like?

I'm glad about your health and employment. I hope you can slow work down a bit to recover your health fully and have some time to enjoy life. But I do understand there are times when it's just work, work, work. Sometimes I actually appreciate those times.

Good deal - I recall some time back when you let us know you were "back at the wheel" but instead of the truck it was at the wheel of the escort vehicle. Sounds like that's finally changed - that's fantastic news
Here's to hoping things get better and better. Welcome back!

Good to see you posting again, BG!
I wanted to be a truck driver when I was a kid, but my parents talked me out of it. I'm still not sure they did the right thing.

Be careful working your butt off, or you'll have no acetal.
Glad you're back on the road. We missed you.
Be safe, ride when you can, wrench a bit to get the mojo back.
P.S. We'd have started a "where is BG?" thread, but many of our hearts are still hurting from when East Hill left.

I know a few long-haul truckers. and also a few 'locals'.
Take a 'mascot' - a stuffed toy, figurine, or something that is uniquely 'you' and take pics of it against the scenery on your travels. Create your own travelogue/travelblog. Post the pics (and other updates) so your friends and family can follow you on your journey(ies).
If you are a 'local' driver ( ie limited overnights) and are operating in a 1-2day drive from your terminal, you can still do the same but play 'where am I?' by posting local little-known landmarks.
Either of those two make the days go faster.
In any case, I'm glad you've landed on your feet (wheels) and are ready to face the World...
Safe Travels, BG!

I hadn't noticed your absence as I've been gone myself but it's better being back with you around. I'm in a different corner of the shipping business.

Can't help my auto-association (rooted in my childhood) of pink = female and blue = male. Probably sexist in 2015, but at my age I lurch slowly from past to PC
