Let me know if you would like it posted in The Big Picture Thread, and I will do so. I had posted it here back in 2014, but that was 8 years ago. As far I can tell, it is no longer here.

Big Bill Truck & Cistern


I got the Big Bill Truck with the JOYOUS coupon code at DAZ, and then the Big Bill Trailer, by using the code again; both for free. The code has expired now. The Big Bill Trailer pack has four different type trailers; Cistern Trailer, Freight Box Trailer, Intermodal Trailer, and Flatbed Trailer. There are four texture sets for each, including the Truck. I used black shaders to make the truck and cistern trailer  solid black, to have no logos on them. I'm planning to make my own textures in the near future.
I parked the Truck and Cistern Trailer on a grassy field.

Thanks Llola. I have been composing a new image for Big Bill Truck. I created a character for the scene, and will soon save it to my content library as a character preset, as I plan to use it in more images. They will be parts of the same story, which I will be writing.

Sounds like a plan... ;)  I look forward to the next installation!

Teen Julie - Truck Driver
Julie went to work at the age of 15, and it did not interfere with her schoolwork. She aced her education in every subject. As she made money, she invested in the shipping company she worked for, and quickly amassed a small fortune.
The owner of the business soon put the company up for sale, as he was retiring. Julie walked into his office and made him an offer he could not refuse, and she acquired the company. She had already purchased a big truck, though she could not legally drive it yet. One of her drivers took her along on many of his long haul trips, meanwhile teaching her about how to drive a big rig.
When she reached legal driving age, she began driving her big rig for her business. She said "Why should I expect my drivers to do all of the driving?" She believed if you are not willing to do the work yourself, you should not expect your employees to do it either. At that time she was 17, and had graduated High School with high honors.
She had business sense that was second to none, and that helped her make the business more successful than it had ever been before. She planned to go to college in a couple of years, to study Business and Business Science. For the time being though, she wished to get some experience under her belt.
Her shipping company is able to haul several types of freight, having a fleet of several types of trailers that can be hauled by any of the big rigs she owns. She has been able to build a great reputation for her company, that brings more business her way. While she pays her drivers well, and allows them to work toward acquiring ownership of the rig they drive, her shipping prices are comparatively low. Even so, some customers will pay higher, to ensure that their shipments get to their destinations with little to no damage. She keeps all shipments legal, not accepting business from irreputable customers. Her business has won several awards because of that and other good business practices.
Julie will go far with this business, so long as she keeps control, which all of her drivers want. Her board of directors has been hand picked, and agree with everything she does for the company. She does not force her opinions on them, but when she presents her ideas, they see the sense in them. Still, even though she owns the company, she loves driving her big rig. She has used her ability to use the internet to run it from her rig.
A recent acquirement for her business is an old abandoned gas station, which she plans to turn into a refueling station for her employees rigs, plus their personal vehicles. She really works to make them happy.
She is looking for young hopefuls to add to her driver team. She will be sending them to Truck Driving classes to make them the safest drivers possible. They will not have to pay for the tuition, as she will provide funding for that. She is one very smart young lady.

Just received some bad news about three hours ago. My oldest cousin on my mothers side of the family suffered a massive heart attack and died today. He and I had just reconnected about two months ago at the funeral of my oldest sister's husband, who was a good friend to me and the cousin that just passed. On top of that is the fact that two other family members, an aunt, and an uncle passed earlier in the year. I am at a loss as to what is actually going on with my family. I feel drained and helpless to do anything about it. I don't think I can take much more of this. Don't worry, I'm not depressed, but I am grieving; especially for my cousin. We were close, with years of good times together. This one hurts also because I was hoping to celebrate Christmas with him. Now it won't be happening, and I will miss him a lot. He was about three years younger than me. And he just had a birthday the 16th of this month. His twin sister passed about three decades ago right after giving birth to her son. He is survived by just his youngest sister, and now I am worried about her. She has no one there for her in this time of mourning. I cannot be there at this time, due to my own obligations, and she would not want me there anyway. So I can only hope she makes it through this trying time.
