Heading Home

Angel Angel placed her phone in its dash mount, before going to her YT channel and signing in. Clicking on her profile "Conversation from the Road" she read through the comments from yesterday's topic, looking for any topic request for today's live stream. One of her most dedicated followers 'Axle379' had requested a legal topic "Statute of Limitations" ; again. Angel sighed, she had done a lot of research on the topic, but the information wasn't enough to fill the one hour live. Maybe she could stretch it out, with historical facts about the topic. Axle379 had been following her since she began the channel and often offered up interesting and complex topics. She could do it, she decided. When she had gotten enough followers to be able to get subscribers Axle379 was one of the first to subscribe and three years later he continued to be her most loyal supporter. Having made her decision, Angel turned on the tablet that had her elogs, dispatch, GPS, and weather apps. She still had half an hour before her 10 hr rest break was complete so with coffee in hand she grabbed her laptop and went looking for enough information on today's topic to fill the hour long live stream. After pre-tripping her rig, Angel pulled up the GPS to plan her route. Before pulling out of her parking space she tapped the 'go live' button on her phone's screen. 'Good Morning Road Heads," She spoke into the mic of her headset, giving her usual greeting. "Today's topic as requested by Axle379, is on Statute of Limitations. Before we head out today, I'd like to remind everyone that I will not be doing any lives next week as I am heading home for some much needed down time." Careful to always keep the camera facing away from her, Angel's screen showed what her viewers saw, which was basically the same view she had out the windshield. "For those new to my channel, I am not able to see any comments as I am driving so I won't respond until after I shut down. Today we are heading to Missouri to rescue a load from a driver who broke down, then I'll be heading to Florida before going home." Surprisingly, the information she had gathered had been more than enough to fill the hour. Before Angel realized it the hour was done and it was time to sign off. "That's all for today, remember boys and girls keep the rubber on the road and the shiny side up. Truckin Witch out." she clicked the end live button before tapping on her other channel "Riding with the Truckin Witch" muting her mic, she let the day roll on. The number of viewers from this channel weren't as high as the other one, but she still had a few subscribers, mostly folks stuck where they were who just wanted a glimpse at the life on the road. The time and miles flew by as she listened to the latest audiobook. She stopped once to walk Cherub and again for the required 30 minute break. She made it to the roadside truck parking area in Danville MO before she had to shut down for the night. Satisfied with the miles she put in today, she smiled at Cherub and sighed "We're heading home girl. We'll be there this time next week."
