Well, I do have to say that at one point in my life I almost became a professional truck driver. Yes! I'm talking about the big rigs, eighteen-wheelers in all! This was due to the lack of good paying jobs in the pan-handle area of Pensaclola, Florida. I was working as a security guard and since being out of the Air Force, I just couldn't find any decent paying jobs. So, between choosing to apply with the local Police Department or driving a truck, I chose the good ol' Sneider Transport Company. I actually completed the preliminary phone interview. They want to know if you can do basic math and have reasoning skills before they go any further... Makes sense.
When I was perusing the web, I discoved a Goulet owned trucking company! You check it out here. Goulet Trucking is an interprovincial company with a history of service extending over 35 years, located at Dollard, Saskatchewan. From my family tree I do know that the Goulets, at least my part of the "tree" migrated over to the "New France" from the "old one" around 1666. It would really be interesting to see if any of this ties together. I am planning on scanning some parts of a family tree my Great Uncle Authur Goulet has compiled over the pre-Internet years.
I must admit I'm a big fan of the many truck driveing simulators available for the pc and Sony Playstation. Since I chose a career in IT, this has sufficed to satisfy my truck driving urges! My hats off to all those who, as one driver put it, live a life of "solitary confinement with a view."
10-4 to all those good Goulet buddies transporting goods to those who are in need!

Do these comments look like spam?? Yep, I think that many are doing this now! I may have to be turning open comments off.
On the other hand, I just might pay these folks a visit and return the favor on their blogs. If they don't allow posting, I'll definately know somethings up!!
