<p>Greyhounds.</p><p>You bring up something very good.</p><p>That River, he be slow... easy moving and occasionally rife with drama and danger. But most of the time... slow and easy.</p><p>Trains and trucks.. they rock and roll day and night under the draconian and unforgiving glare of the schedule.</p><p>My spouse told me enough was enough after about a year of team-driving. We were completely independant from the truck stop... except for repairs, fuel and safe haven when the weather got too bad.</p><p>That rig didnt stop 24/7 and frankly after that one year tour when I laid down in my bed the house would not stay still. It would take us about a month and a half before anything resembling our pre-trucking life with order and routine set in again.</p><p>A worker needs to have downtime, a life and basically a chance to live it before they are turned loose to pasture and left to thier devices with a body that is torn up and damaged from the work over the decades.</p>
