Emotional Riots..

Posted 01.17.2009 at 03.42 PM by GuysLady
Otherwise known as drug addicts, lazy people, their children and the grandparents that enable them......

This story is so confusing to me. Especially since I am so personally involved. And yet, I am strangely removed from the direct "line of fire".

I have three brothers. The oldest one is something to be proud of. The middle one, I want nothing to do with. The youngest leaves me with mixed emotions.

The middle one got involved with a girl...

The beginning

Posted 01.19.2009 at 06.21 AM by Ms No Name 72
I have always kept a written on going journal, something I started doing when I was alot younger. I have found it to be helpful in my world. I reread over things I wrote to myself from past years and reflect upon that time in my life. I will read things I forgotten about and again battle within myself why I thought one way towards something and yet did things a different way to solve an issue I was having.

I have decided to make this my journal into blogging online, using this forum...

18 Days give or take a few hours

He has talked about this for quite some time. Just hit or miss, but this is it. I want this for him as much as he wants this for himself. No, there is no need for him to do this, he has a great career now, good bennys, vacation time, 401k the whole she-bang. But he has this desire and dream to go over the road. I would be a fool to hold him back from this want. He doesnt ask for much for himself and so in this I will dream with him. He is looking forward to this adventure and in turn I look forward...

Dad, you got a second?

I look around my home and so much is the hard work of yours. Take the first things I notice of my house. My double driveway that you hung out with the concrete guys in the 100 degree heat (digging it out all by yourself) making sure I would be happy. The garage that is not a garage anymore but instead is a pretty double window that is my big bedroom.The front door, you painstakingly worked that solid door down to fit like a glove. You hunted for the right color stain to be mismatched with...

Trucking Companies Gone Bad

Posted 02.05.2009 at 01.08 PM by fireant
Not new to the trucking industry and we are finding that companies are starting to cut drivers pay + benefits. We are also finding dispatch trying to pull you off your load and pushing you to swap loads with another driver because they ran out of hours. Never asking you if you have the hours to complete the swap, and when you say no, you have created a problem for yourself. Just this one trip caused me a major problem, here is the deal. Had been driving say 4 hrs., Q-comm goes off and they wanted...

Trucking Companies gone Bad

Posted 02.05.2009 at 02.39 PM by fireant
Volunteering to drive truck over the Thanksgiving and through out the Christmas and New Years Holidays so the customers could have there freight moved proved to be unfruitful this past year. Arrived at drop #1 a little over 10 hours early was not a problem. We took the ten hour break, unload and final out on the 2nd and final drop the next morning Christmas eve. At Midnight the customer woke me up to open up the trailer doors and back into the dock, good deal. Unloading at the 1st stop went well....
