Chapter 1

The trees and forest around me are some of the most spectacular you could ever wish to see. But for me I guess it’s all pretty normal and part of a day’s work.

Not everyone would want to be a long distance truck driver, but I just love it…

‘A hundred miles down, only another hundred to go,’ I chuckle, dropping my truck down a gear as the incline takes me up the long, winding hill. ‘And thank fuck it’s not all likethis.’

I take a deep breath and bring the speed right down as I maneuver my large delivery truck around the s-bend before flooring the accelerator to give me enough power to push on up the hill.

Being the delivery driver for the Construction Boys always seems to throw up these kinds of long distance driving challenges. We only use the best materials, and if that means a two hundred mile round trip, then that’s what we’re going to do.

And it’s not even like this is the longest delivery journey I’ve made!

I think my record is a total trip, there and back, of nearly four hundred miles. Of course, that involved several stops and about half a dozen pick-up and drop-off spots – but who’s counting, right?

All in all, my hours are long and the work can be highly demanding on my time and my concentration. Driving my truck ain’t the same as jumping into a Tesla and letting all the computers and gadgets do the work for you.

No, my truck requiresrealdriving skill.

You can never relax, and you have to always have your wits about you. Take it from me, you don’t want to be at the wheel of a large truck unless you’re fully aware of the responsibility you have to keep yourself and other drivers on the roads safe.

But don’t get me wrong – I freakin’lovewhat I do.

Sure, the hours may be long and I might be away from home for a few days a week… but I always have a great time when I’m out on the road.

Whether it’s discovering a new diner or finding a super-cute little town to take a break in, I always see each and every long-distance delivery mission as an opportunity to experience something new.

Oh, and about those roadside diners…

I’ve pretty much become the unofficial Construction Boys breakfast and late night coffee guide for the whole crew.

If there’s a top class pancake stack or premium specialty coffee on any of our great American roads then I’m pretty much guaranteed to know it – and my fellow boys don’t hesitate to come to me for recommendations.

That’s the thing with my crew, we all have our strengths.

Xander and Lane are the two founders, and they bring with them a whole heap of construction experience, business knowledge, and some of the biggest triceps and biceps in a tri-state area.

Then you’ve got Zane and Kurt, two guys who know everything there is to know about welding enormous pieces of steel together and putting up some of the most pin-point accurate residential framework in the business.

The rest of the guys in the crew all bring their own specialties too, and it’s always a great day when we can get through the work together and then party afterward.

A Construction Boys party might involve a ton of ice cold beers and some seriously competitive games of 8-Ball pool before heading back to someone’s house and partying way into the earl hours.

Or sometimes it might be another kind of party.

A verydifferentkind of party in fact…

Despite being just about the most typically macho and big built construction crew you could ever dream of, what truly bonds us all is the fact that we’re Littles.

We might all be well over six feet tall, but we still want nothing more than our onesies, warm milk, and our stuffies to snuggle with.

One of our favorite spots to hang out together isMorning Milk. It’s the safest environment you could imagine, and no one in there cares that we’re all way bigger than the average Little.

The very thought of being inMorning Milkwith my best friends is enough to get me through the second half of my journey today too.

It’s been a fairly straightforward journey, but I’ve learned over the years that you can nevertrulyrelax on the road until the goods have been collected and then taken back to the site.
