Allie Knight: Trucking and Skateboarding? The perfect combination for people that like to roll...

Have you ever thought about leaving behind the daily grind and getting behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler? I grew up obsessed with the trucking movie, "Smokey and the Bandit". Any of you that have seen this classic film probably are like me...and have entertained the idea of getting a hound dog and a big rig and cruising across the country delivering beer and jawing on the CB.
Well, for those of you interested in the OTR (Over the Road) trucking lifestyle, Allie Knight does a great job documenting the realities facing today's truck drivers.  She has a wonderful personality and a great sense of humor, which she utilizes brilliantly during the daily challenges she faces and overcomes. I have watched many of her adventures and enjoy the variety of viewing options she shares with viewers of her youtube channel.  I am especially fond of the episodes in which Allie answers questions, sent in by viewers, concerning life on the road as a trucker. Watching her show gives me great respect for her courage, and it also brings me back down to earth when I start thinking trucking would be like it was back in the days of the old "Smokey and the Bandit" film. Her youtube videos are a good reminder of the realities and challenges faced by today's truckers.
