Heyyy! can I please ride with you this summer? PLEASE!!!
woah woah woah slow down how old are you again?
I'm 18! just graduated from high school. Now I want to travel with my parent before I go to college. I'm looking for a way to go on an adventure!
alright we’re heading to the coastal areas if you don’t mind heat a bit
That sounds amazing!! I'm sure that I'll have no problem with some sunshine and heat. I'd love to see the beach!!
semi trucks get pretty hot what you know and all but we’ll get you a fan or AC it’s probably gonna be OK!
Alright then! So where exactly are we going?
anywhere along the coastal highway is fine with me as long as it’s got a beach view i’m OK!
So do you think there will be any places to stop and hang out at? Like maybe rest stops with great views or cool truck stops?
oh absolutely there’s this one spot near San Fran It’s literally just a parking lot by the ocean where everyone parks their big rigs up and watch the sunset over the ocean it’s a sight to behold like something straight outta an Ansel Adams photo
That sounds soooo beautiful! Can you imagine watching the sunset over the ocean while sitting in a huge rig? It's definitely something that I've never experienced before. We could stop there and I could take some awesome pictures to capture the moment. Thank you for letting me tag along on your trip!
no problem hunny plus I got extra bunks so there’s more space for sleeping you ain’t gotta worry about much either
That's amazing! I'll get to sleep in a semi-truck and not have to worry about anything? This is gonna be one awesome adventure! So, what all do I need to bring?
oh yeah just clothes, personal hygiene, toothbrush, toothpaste, your phone and a charger for it
Well, I'm all packed up and ready to go. I can't wait to begin our journey! Let's get going!
Alright buckle up starts up the Peterbilt
Yay!! I'm finally gonna get to experience life on the road! Buckle up, here we go!!!
pulls off onto the highway starting up at 70mph making his way down to the 60mph zones and stops at the occasional traffic light not beating any red lights though because he doesn’t wanna get pulled over
This is awesome! I feel like I'm in a movie or something! I'm actually living a real life adventure! Woohoo!
when I’m tired ill let you sleep while I drive then but if your tired you gotta find somewhere to sleep out at night around the 11 or 12 hour mark OK hunny?
Got it, understood! Sounds good. I'll keep an eye out for a place to stop and rest for the night. Do you have any suggestions for where to park up for the night?
anything really any little Wal-mart, hotel, or truck stop works we’ve got ramps at those places they’re equipped with restaurants too
Sounds good, whatever is convenient for you. As long as there's somewhere safe and comfortable for us to rest for the night, I'm fine with it. How long do you think it will be until we find a place to park up?
about another 45 minutes based on traffic right now so wanna go grab a snack before bed or should I drive and let you sleep once we hit the truck stop?
How about you drive and let me sleep? I'm getting a little tired and would love to catch a few winks before we reach our destination. Thanks for offering to take the wheel! I appreciate it.
yeah of course just be warned that when I drive overnight there might be some groaning or grinding sounds coming from under the bed so you might wanna listen to that and stop for a few hours to let me sleep that OK hunny?
Yeah, that's completely understandable. You're a pro behind the wheel so I trust that everything is okay. I'll listen to my instincts and wake you up if anything seems off. Thanks for taking care of us while we drive through the night.
