    I have done flat for 5+ years, so I pushed back. Asked if she was insane? I told her I won't do it. Very little filter. She is just a dispatcher. I'm now know she doesn't know securement. I wonder if she had a new driver what would have happened.... But anyway this is just first day drama. After this it should be pretty simple.

    They are sending someone out 2 hours and 30 minutes away to me to bring straps. That's just drive time. So I sit.

    This is good. Now they know what to expect from a professional hand. Flats are no joke to pull. Alot of experience & work. Some ppl are afraid of flatbed. Lol

    I might be moving soon from Hampton (Phoebus) Virginia to Williamsburg Virginia. In the past 30 days, I have been in the ER 3 times. Keri is adamant I can no longer live in this setting. I am tired of fighting her, especially considering she is right. I will know more on Thursday about this situation. It's cheaper to move to this place than hire a full-time nurse Ratched.

    Getting old blows!

    We got loaded.

    It's total non stop OM trucking action, and ain’t nobody got time for this internet stuff.

    We stopped for an emergency sandwich, cause we both were within minutes, if not seconds of STARVING TO DEATH.

    There was another BCO there that's taking Schneiser to court.

    He's struggling with his easy $1240 week payment, plus insurance, and overhead.

    Does not include maintenance!!!!!!

    Oh, and the casual $58K balloon at the end!!!!!!

    Schneiser......bad for you. Bad for me. Bad for The OM. Bad for..........America.

    Continuing east bound and down!!!!!
