Bernard Armstrong Wallace grew up in 1980s suburbia, a nerd at the height of nerd ostracism. He devoured science fiction, played AD&D with the few friends he had, and generally did his best to keep to himself and avoid getting beaten up.

After graduating high school, Bernard took a summer job with a long-haul trucking company. He didn't come home for almost a decade. The open road was a place of solitude and peace. He ate up the miles, content with first books-on-tape, then on CD, and then (wonder of wonders) the golden age of digital audiobooks. 

The apocalypse hasn't really changed much for Bernard. His folks died a few years before it happened, and the demand for long-haul truckers never actually went away. He hauled emergency supplies during the initial outbreak, almost always with military escort. By the time the military collapsed, they'd helped him make a number of modifications to his rig that would have been... questionable at any other time. 

But the roads are still good. There's still stuff to haul. The convoys he drives with aren't exactly the same as before, but there's still a unique camradarie on the road. Nobody really pays with money anymore, but they always pay. So long as his sound system still works, and so long as his library of audiobooks and podcasts is still accessible... the world inside his rig is a cozy enough place. 

Bernard attempts to stay in his rig whenever possible. Since his cabin is nigh impenetrable by zombies, he often parks in infested areas at night - a horde of shamblers is a better defense than just about anything else. The cabin is his home base and his safety blanket all in one.
