One of the guys that went thru school with Rhino just finally told Central to come get their truck. He has been waiting on a load for about 2 weeks now. The tow truck driver that came to get the truck said that he has picked up a few of Central's trucks. He said, "The one thing he can say for them is that they have a high turn over rate".
I just think if they would quit hiring so many they could treat the ones that they have good.
TWO WEEKS is way to long to wait on a load!!!!!!!!

But I also think there is more to it IMHO and my opinion doesn't really count.

But your right why keep hiring new drivers when they don't have the freight its pretty simple really they get the school fees and MOST probably some sort of Subsidy to train new drivers

Thank you Jess. I also think that the school fees have a lot to do with it.
But just doesn't add up. lol Well, make sense.

ok 1bad is ready to roll out in a few hours. He got a very short run only 275 miles. But at least the wheels will be turning. Hopefully they will have another one as soon as he drops this one for him.

Glad he got stuck here for one more day though. Our oldest daughter had 2 at bats tonight and got a home run each time. 1st time she has every done that! Needless to say we are two very very very proud parents right now! So glad 1bad got to see it 1st hand!

Ok I'll will check back in after he leaves. I'm sure I will be crying into my Raisin Bran at that point......................LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL:biggrin _25526:

You can cry into your Raisin Bran and I will cry into my Coffee, it seems like ages since JJ has been home and really its only like 4 weeks

Sooner this house sells the BETTER at least then I will get to spend time with him.

Congrats oldest one Lol on the Home runs (Understands very little about Ball games)
