Application was just accepeted for PRIME. Start orientation January

I've done research and talked to many lease operators and plan on talking to a few on here before I do make the decision.

My biggest complaint overall at the moment in my situation my codriver has a habit of liking to stop for extended periods of time to "eat " I'm not talking like 30 minsurance I'm talking over an hour long time while I understand yes it is nice to be able to sit and have a meal but doing it on a daily or almost daily basis is cutting into my pocket, we also have different mindsets on how we should run. As I stated before I like to run hard and get to our 90 and hopefully drop early and or have load repower on the other hand if be knows we have time on the load or well be there way before our appointment he will not try to have load repower ed or anything he'll just wait for the the fleet manager to decide what to do. There are many other issues but I won't go into them as I don't want to bash him he's a good guy and a good trainer but I think he still thinking as a company driver in a way and not really as a business owner with an employee (me).

 

Will do yeah I would have but was dealing with issues with ra on a empty I picked up once that was cleared up we was sent to Washington which is a beautiful state I may say lol. Well definitely you if I have any questions which I'm sure I will I'll have to see if I have your number still I got a new phone so lost all my old contacts .

I didn't think about that in regards to the truck, so I'll probably go with a new one in that case, I think it's for the best I do go solo it sucks as he did ask if I would stay with him until October so he has someone to run his truck while he is on vacation, which I said I would if it would work out as teaming but with our differences I don't think it'll last till October before one of us tries to kill the other lol

 

Well y'all it'd come down to it I'm going solo. Codriver and I butted heads and he was wanting me to do unsafe things that almost caused an accident so to protect my license as well as my sanity i told him when he gets back on the truck from home time I will be getting off of the truck.

It's for the best he has taught me many things and for that I appreciate it. However I have learned all I can from him and I need to move onto my own and start expanding my knowledge.

I'm excited for the future and to see what I am able to achieve.

Currently sitting at the Petro in Amarillo TX waiting for 01 to be ready with load.

 

Figured I would update y'all been a while. Currently I'm sitting at my 90 in Bay City, Mi.

Been running mostly the North East, and Southeast for the most part been doing good. Only gone in the negative once and that was a mess up on payrolls end and was fixed quickly.

I have to say holidays suck, sitting and waiting because of a shipper or reciever decided to take a 4 day weekend ugh, other then that its the same ol same ol. Getting loads in on time, Making the money.

My truck just rolled over 50k a week and a half ago and had her first PM, everything went smoothly until we went to replace the fuel filters and noticed on the small one that it was full of metal shards so going to have to keep an eye out on that.

Taken about two weeks off for home time, Took 4 days off down in Florida to see my best friend, and her family. Then my mom had a surgery two weeks after that so took a week off for that and always came out in the positive.

I have to say though after spending time with friends and family I can see why the turn over rate in this Industry is high. After seeing my bestfriend, her two young sisters and her own daughter who are like family to me i had a rough couple of days and i managed through them some how i do not know how but i did I couldn't imagine doing this job with a Wife or Kids at home and not being able to see them on a regular basis i guess i should be thankful I'm single with no kids and no wife.

I hope you all are staying safe out there keeping the shiny side up. I'll try to be more active on here but usually to tired to do much of any thing besides watch an episode of my TV show and then go to sleep.
