The blog of blah. Ought to be called "Blahg." I discuss my experiences from CDL school on into driving, random crap annnnd..... other random crap. Or nothing. Either way.
I thought I had posted on here last night. Doesn't look like it though. But I was so tired I kept zoning out. Figured when I kept bouncing my head on the keyboard I should probably go on to bed. Now that I think about it.... I had typed out a blog. I vaguely remember bits of it. Apparently I failed to post it. Hmmm.... maybe that's a good thing. So yesterday I bring my truck into the OC. I walk into the shop and start screaming and cussing and throwing things about..... ...
Around midnight thirty I was getting settled back into the truck. Knowing the chances of a quick response from support shift, I go ahead and dial their number whilst I get ready to roll. Then I take off. About thirty minutes later it rings through then goes back on hold. After fifty minutes I get the same girl I recently had the displeasure to speak with whom informed me we could not conduct our business while I parked on the shoulder. I tell her what I'm calling for, our three some ...

In a recent blog I received a comment complimenting some fan art of my illustrious carrier and mentioned I could be a candidate for work in the marketing department. After another comment teased him regarding the content of my writings he rescinded most of his compliment to leave me only with "photo editing." While that's fine and well I must bring up two things two other business people (former business owners) have told me. 1) First had owned a carpet store. One day he ...
I meant to share this with yall. It's from CDL Life's website (Truck Driver Myths: http://www.cdllife.com/2012/trucker-...-driver-myths/) Here's the info-graphic they display:
I met an interesting fellow today. He spent too much time rollin doobies and smackin crack in the hood in California. He was complaining about how his grandfather had invented the little ball bearing in carburetors that prevent gas leakage in a rollover event. But those dang car companies stole his design and hung him out to dry and his grandmother didn't believe in lawsuits. That wench. So now after all these years he's rolled and smoked away his money and has nothing to ...
Dear Fellow Motorist, Last night, while you slept soundly in your own bed, I drove for eleven hours non-stop. Then I slept in my "office" in a strange parking lot. As soon as I awoke, I drove another eleven hours. I prayed some cop wasn't bored and pull me over for an inspection "just cause he can;" which would delay my arrival by at least an hour. I didn't get to kiss my wife and kids "good-night" because I was 2,000 miles away ...
My only access to the web when I'm on the road is VIA my phone, unless I'm at an OC. And since I've not yet hacked my phone to make it a modem, I can't use my laptop. And since mobile software is still not quite as capable as desktop, I've been having difficulty transferring this video to Trucker's Report. But since I am home now.... While I enjoy my blogging, I do get tired of typing with my thumbs. I decided to give video-blogging a try. Now that I'm at ...
