You will figure it out!

Hope everyone has a great week!

You seem like a smart feller and an auto repair shop is a money maker. Vehicles always break down. Or is a body shop? Either way you can hardly go wrong.

Sorry Jim, for your loss and also that I haven't responded on here in a long time. I've been busy and my computer crashed. I was reading some of the posts that I have missed; while I didn't have a computer. The part about quitting a hundred times in a week is true. I quit at least once a week, but I'm still going at it the next. I delivered and picked up in Fletcher and in my opinion that place could make/break a driver in a hurry. I must have had my "backing game"' on because I only had to pull up once for each dock. Maverick is good about getting you home for emergencies. I had a death in the family on a Thurs. morning sitting in Conover, NC and was home by Thurs evening; with a load that could deliver on a Tuesday. They are getting me home to do the necessary steps to become a State Trooper. I do part 1 of the 7 steps that you have to pass, in order to be admitted to the Academy, Monday.
I don't know if you guys run into this a lot on the road, but people who text while going down the road are a danger to us and themselves. I was taking the load I picked up in Fletcher, to Builders Gypsum Supply in Houston for a Tues drop. While I was on the 610 loop, this woman in what looked like a Honda Accord came across 3 lanes of traffic and didn't slow down at my truck either. If I hadn't of been paying attention and set down on the brakes I would have ran over her car. Guess what she was doing? Texting! Well I will shut up for now. Everyone have a blessed and safe weekend!

if you think the gypsum docks are bad at Fletcher, try the paper delivery dock.

Good luck on the State Trooper job! I see people texting all the time. It is very frustrating!

Made it home.....hope all is well with everyone!
