I had a dream about Charlotte the other night. Strange dream. One of those dreams where you wake up, only vaguely remembering the subject of the dream, but not the content...

This is my first ever submission of this type, so please be kind... It is purely fiction -- well almost. The life of a big rig, over-the-road truck driver is nothing like people have come to believe after all the movies and television series from a few years back.
