Let's just say Time IS On My Side.

Or, was that Mick Jaggers who said/sang that?
I forget.

I've also heard that
Time Is Money.

Imagine THAT !

Comments?
Questions?

There are also plenty of other Big truck truck drivers out there to be hired. Doesn't have to be you. Does the company you drive for realize how lucky they are to have a driver like you employed there? Right ON!
Maybe, just maybe, they oughta UNscrew their drivers. Let NO driver go unscrewed. Give their drivers 40 acres and a good unscrewin'. You seem to have asked yourself a question, -- and answered it, too.
"Right"?
Right, is wrong, ..... in this case, anyway. You did it again, eZ!
Asked and answered your own question.
Are you tellin' us your pain, sorrow, complaints etc... ? Just out of curiously, eZ --- what do YOU think.

I think -- when I'm doin' the right thang, I don't worry about what others wind up thinkin' 'bout me either.
That's why I think it's prudent to be and do what's acceptable and correct whenever I can. You know, do the ol' .........
Do the right thang --
even when nobody is looking.
I figure I'm, at least someBODY, ergo I see myself, or is it a reflection? Hmmmmm
That can be good or not so good, maybe even bad.

I've heard, "Think twice, speak once."

After that, if y'all still wanna say whatcha say, I say 'GO'! And just might agree.
Now,........... if y'all say it before givin' it much thought, perhaps
Silence Is Golden.
Ya reckon. WoAH!

Do you mean physical "hurt"?, Emotional "hurt"?
Pride?

And what if you KNOW it will "hurt" -- might that be a reason to do it?

However, I'm also aware that, SOMEtimes, the truth can hurt. Hurt ain't necessarily a bad thang. When there's a lesson to be learned, no pain, no gain.
I guess.

What do they call a person who enjoys or seeks ways to "hurt" other folks --- just for that reason?
I forget. Shux Howdy!
There was a FIRST party?
Dang-nabbit!
I'm gonna fire my secretary and kick stuft puppies for not informing me.
Hmmmmm
Unless there was a reason. You're a stranger, eZ, I don't know you, --- so I'd have to go with the MONEY, too.
And so should/would YOU if it were reversed. On a scale of 1 -->10 and 10 being most important,
Where would you rate the "BOTTOM LINE"?Do you remember where you were "found"? How do you know?
Have you tried?
Recently?
With this inflation --- hell just might be the easy/only way to go. And easy to find and get there --- to get there, all one has to do is nothing.
How cool is that?
**excuse the pun**
Offering or
requiring?
(Help)

Are you aware that there are those who subscribe to:
God helps he who helps himself. ?
Sounds like a conflict.
Ya reckon.

Then, there's this one;
To each -- according to their needs
From each -- according to their ability.

Do you think that'd work and solve the problems?

Decent pay but NO miles?
I'll take de job!!

Too bad eZ don't like drivin' teams.
We could team together and git 'er done.
Imagine that.

Decent pay but no miles heck Shocky I will team with you for that.

I like to drive at night.

Just wake me for the places with good food.
10-4?

after quite alot of thought and other things some might not understand, well on second thought I will say it, after prayer and talking with my sponser, and other things that some might say were coincedence, i am going to rescend my acceptance of the position.

I don't think that i can put my sobriety in jepordy. This has made me realize that I can not become an OTR driver at this time. A local job (for now) is the only thing that I think that i can accept right now.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Can we talk?

See,.................... back in the day --- BEFORE I wore the clothes of a Big truck truck driver, I was a consumer of mass quantities of adult beverages -- especially brewed varieties.

It took me a 6-pack just to mow my postage-sized front lawn, --- half a case to mow both front and a smaller back yard. Then, another two 6-packs to un-wind.
And probably another 6-pack while watching television.

However, once I started driving Big trucks, the urge to drink adult beverages just went away. And to this day, I still don't crave alcoholic beverages.

My fridge USED to never not have beer in it. Now it never does.
The last beer I consumed was around 4 or 5 months ago. And it was just one bottle.

You see, driving Big trucks cured my desire to drink booze. Although the stuff was readily available when I was on the road, I easily passed the coolers without so much as a temptation to take one with me.

Do you think that might happen to you, too?

I think, if I had been driving local, that wouldn't have happened to me. The temptation would have gotten the better of me. And I think it was the complete change of lifestyle driving OTR that got 'er done.

If you run team, you'll have peer pressure to help you abstain. And hopefully, if a company keeps the wheels turnin' -- you won't find the time to consume whatcha shouldn't. Big truck truckin' could be YOUR salvation, too.
Ya reckon.

The interesting thing is, I don't think this topic should be under the title "Attention Company Drivers". Maybe it should be under the title "Sobriety and Trucking".

But anyway, point taken. But I am not talking of Alcohol. for now you think what you would like and I know what I know.

Good day and be safe sir

Perhaps you're correct, JL.
And perhaps it needs to be where the right person(s) will read it.
Ya reckon.

Replace "alcoholic beverages" with "drug of choice" and the message remains the same.
You ain't conversin' with a goody-two-shoes here. I've been around the block several times myself.

There isn't much you could tell me that'd AfterShock me.

In life, from time to time, decisions must be made.
If one makes the decision to make NO decision(s) -- life WILL make 'em FOR 'em.
Usually, not the decisions they would prefer though.
Such is life --- and has been since man has been around. And it's not likely to change in the near future.

When that fact can and is accepted, life goes a tad smoother.

I would say "Democrat", but the dictionary would refute me. The word you are looking for here is "sadist"

Now, regarding teaming. *I'll* team with you, AS - AND I'll let you drive. All the time if you want to. So long as I have internet, of course. And my Eve-Online subscription is current.

Sounds like a good deal to me and for me.
And, as an added bonus --- you could post for both of us.
I take de job.

Company drivers when you travel thru oregon if you get stop by dot and if the truck you are driving had a previous warning given for overload, or any other problem, you will be issued a ticket even if you just was given the truck.
