All my info is so dated as to be incorrect half of the time.
So if anyone has regular questions that are not company specific let me know lol.
I have been coming to these threads for so long now I feel like I am leaving home lol.

So i have till next october.. Then swift, transam or heartland will take me.. But if anyone has a genie in a bottle out there.. Wanna wish me back into central and put me back in 94744?? Oh okay mike.. Well bub, i couldnt keep the secret as long as u..

I would ask if you can come back teaming with a L/O reason being YOU dont have to answer to the FM. The L/O does, so that then cuts deanna out of the equation. Besides, technically you dont work for Central, you work for the L/O. Then after a few months go solo as a L/O again or company driver.

Hey we will be at Central the same time. Originally I was going to go on the 18th but I'm getting really itchy feet and I need to get out of here asap

So I'm calling the recruiter on Wed to get the ball rolling early so that I can get out of here. If you read through this thread as well as a couple of the other Central threads these guys all have really good info.

Ya that was the norm for me when I was OTR get a ld to WVC pick up at Hershey head to Stockton n I live like 3 miles from there. But these days it's back and forth.

On a lighter note clutch is slowly but surely going out on this 07 T2000. OTRM won't replace it. So I have to fandangle my DM into getting me a new truck next time I'm in WVC.

Keep it steady boys. I'm out!!!!!!!

Thankfully, we're fixed and home now. But it really sucked. 25 miles from the drop yard, 140 from home, and boom! Stuck on Highway 18 in the chain up zone for 4 hours until they could get the local to come get our trailer. Then, another hour and a half for them to get a tow truck out, and an hour and a half for him to hook us up, and tow us to Cummins.

Cummins was of course closed, since it was Sunday, so it was just a great end to the weekend. On the plus side, I got to see my cousin, who is awesome. Would have been better to be home a day earlier though. I kinda wanted a couple days at home without my grandmother. Oh well, Can't always get what I want.

Red International. But that was me in the front seat, reading my Nook, waiting for either the local to get the trailer, or the tow truck guy to show.

Man, turbos are expensive. I'm glad Central and the warrenty got the bill and not me.
