Kidney stones and BBQ...

Posted 3 Weeks Ago at 11.52 PM by latanea
What a week - doctor visit on Monday - ultrasound and lithotrypsy on Thursday.


(Been on the "sick board" at work for the last 68 hours)

I have used up all of my pain killers - as noon yesterday - and I am ready to work again.

(had to stay off while I was doped up)

Man.... Not sure if you have ever dealt with "stones" before - but lemme tel ya... they are a real treat!...

Shock and Awe (talking to recruits in Atlanta)

Posted 08.20.2008 at 06.02 AM by latanea
I was sitting in the lobby of the hotel we use in Atlanta the other day (Monday) and a group of seven came in and plopped down in the lobby couches around where I was sitting...

They were very excited and gung-ho about their orientation starting that day with "Super Service".. (an OTR company based out of Ky.).

One of them asked me if I was going to orientation too....

I said - "no, I am going to work in a few minutes..."...

Busy summer

wow - I have been so busy the last month or so that I have not had a lot of time to post here -

been running my butt off all over..

between atlanta and philly and KC and chicago I hav spent a ton of time running freight...

I tend to like the fall and winter better - we slow down and I have time for hobbies and to work around the house. (and to relax more).

The wife has a corporate training in chicago next week so I will be running around...

The Change of Ops.

Posted 07.14.2008 at 10.41 AM by latanea
Roadway had a major change of operations that went in to effect yesterday...

80% of our runs will be "meet and turn" which is much like UPS package's way of making sure drivers are in their own bed at the end of the day...

So last night I ran to claysville Pennsylvania - met a Carlsile driver - swapped trucks and headed back home.

I live very close to the terminal and turning back every day suits me fine.
