    Hah.

    That lady at Pine Bluff called in on me, after she wouldn’t load brown rice, after brown rice.. then they sent her a waiver to load, I drive back and weighed in, and everyone went to dinner til 1205, then i got loaded and ready to go at 1315.

    She just called to tell ‘me’ my driver came there with a bad attitude and dusted everyone out, cussed everyone and left.

    I asked what truck number, she told me (had to write that on BoL)
    Then i said, “Lemme look.. ok, got em pulled up..ohh.

    Ah, that’s the Judge, he’s half crazy, you gotta watch him, he’ll tell you what he thinks, if it hurts your feelings or not.

    Her... Yada Yada.

    What’s that? Well, we can’t fire him, because he’s been running around with the bosses wife, and she’s the one who writes the checks.
    That’d be a sure way to lose our job.

    Yada Yada.

    Yep, the boss knows he’s running with his wife, I told you, the Judge is half crazy,he told the boss if he didn’t like it, he could go find himself a new job, and he’d have his wife put him as the new boss, or they’d be going through a divorce and the Judge would take half of everything and still keep his wife, it used to be a big deal here in the office, but we’re all getting used to it.

    Yep, you too, have a nice day. :)


    It’s good to be crazy.
    Time to go back to driving, 80 miles to where i’m stopping since can’t unload til in the morning

    The truck has stopped at an indigenous Sapp Brothers.

    I remember there use to be one little private truck stop here in the day.

    Now it's turning into a sprawling metropolis.

    A guy sure could get used to this equipment hauling thing. Show up, check in, find equipment, breakdown trailer, chain and then gone. Same on the delivery side. All the people I've run into Are happy to see me and incredibly helpful if I have a question or need a run down on the controls before loading...sure beats babysitting some propane jockey making sure he doesn't bash my rub rail or storage box... and scratching my head looking at the crap they put on the trailer trying to figure out how to tie it all down.. I don't miss it !

    You know I was just thinking about that yesterday.. My attitude has greatly improved since going out on my own. I am less stressed out and less in a hurry all the time. Even going to California didn't bother me like it used to..I think now I just really enjoy what I'm doing. I guess it was the change I needed.

    I enjoyed it. No unnecessary interaction with any people required.

    Only reason I gave it up is that the money just wasn’t there.
