    I just caught my first cold since Feb. 2020. Almost 4 years…. I remember cause it was like a month before Covid.
    This cold moved on pretty quick but the cough lingers…..
    Get better Bro

    Renewed my license on 12/27, and started the background check to renew my Hazmat endorsement. TSA approved it on 12/29. Hopefully I will get my Hazmat endorsed license before I leave out next week. Most of the time the Gubbermint will tell you 30-60 days for a TSA background check...my TWIC took a week, my Hazmat, that was done 13 months later, took 2 days. Either the Gub is over estimating or the TSA is getting faster.

    Today game of whatsit...older drivers will probably recognize what this is, younger drivers probably won't have a clue as to what it is...

    Whatsit? (there is a clue on the item itself)

    Not a lighter, a flint dispenser. It says Zippo right there on the right.

    Finally, won one.

    By the way, I've been kicked to the curb by Daseke and Lone Star. Good luck with your situation at SPD. I'm moving on. Never Daseke again.
     
    Friend Thanks this.

    Dang, are you able to share details?

    And I agree with never wanting to be associated with Daseke again.
     
    Friend Thanks this.

    Been off for 2 mo's for detached retina. Med card expired in the middle of the 2 mo, and couldn't renew anyhow till i got cleared and a new script for eyewear. Got to the company doc for a physical, and got hit with the sleep test BS. 3 mo med cert. pending sleep test. LoneStar says I'm no longer qualified to drive, must have a 6 mo med minimum to drive, sent me home. And now I'm trying to figure out how to pay for a sleep test out of pocket, to speed up the process without a job and a paycheck. So, I'm home. Unemployed. Unemployable, as a driver. (noone as of yet will let me drive on a 3 mo. card) So, Yeah. Thanks for nothing, LoneStar/Daeske. 3 Years, Driver of month once, 3 years safe driving awards, no incidents, nothing. See Ya.
     
    Oxbow, dwells40 and Lonesome Thank this.
