JJ's Place

I hear it is snowing at home.
I am not at home, probably will not be home this weekend lol.
I am in Richmond VA at my terminal. I needed service today so I stuck around, but now I have to wait till morning and go to Cummins.

 

Yea!!! I am finally at the house. Had quite the ordeal today but.......I'm home. Went to get the tlr fixed and it turned into a 4 hr lesson in patience. Heck, I ain't got none when I'm just 10 miles from the house!!!! Went in to the Petro to do my work order and told them about the lite and that I had a big air leak in the tlr that was causing me to lose 50 + lbs of pressure in a minute or so. Mechanic goes "well if its that bad, just follow the sound!!". Gotta love karma, eh. Same mechanic worked on the tlr while I watched. Turned trk on twice to build pressure up, closed up all doors, stuck leaking air hoses out the doors, then finally told everyone to be quiet. lol Did find the leak er leaks tho and will admit the guy was good. Had to get his ears right on them to find them. Have an auto inflate system and thats where all the leaks (5 of them he thinks) were at.
Emails going back and forth, whats the problem, can you fix it, do you have the parts and blah blah. Finally sent a msg to the company along the lines of " guys, I really want to go home. Anyway, I can possibly take this tlr to a shop, that will have the parts, and drop it?" OMG!!!! They actually let me.

 

To bad I'm not looking for a local job. (does that make me a strange one?) Braums is looking for a local here starting out at $18.25 an hr w/bennies!!!

 

well 1100-1200/wk and your home every night, but your looking at the same roads all day every day . Ask JJ about being on the same roads all the time, BUT your home every night.

 

Difference is we haven't been home in almost a month!! Home now and not liking it, pipe broke on the trailer even with everything being heat taped grrrrrrrrrrrrr, have to replace our main Electrical cord because the last owners used some hokey set up and there is a foot of snow in my drive and at my door, the dogs are being lil Mongrels and thats it for muh Pity Party!

 

sounds like fun Jess

Hey guys, I have been researching and looking at different companies for almost a month, I saw the CR England site today and thought I would ask about the training. Does any one have info on the training in Utah? I recently moved to Twin Falls, ID and my choices have come down to Swift's School and 2 year contract with training in Lewiston, ID 8/hr by car or CRE in Salt Lake City 3/hrs away. It sounds like Swift offers more solo options but CRE is closer and cheaper. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

 

Ahhhhhh Jess, the joys of living where it snows. Wish you was back on de udder side o da world yet?
Sorry AIN, can't help with either of those.

 

STAY AWAY FROM CRE!!!! Central Refrige would be a better option than CRE you would be in a good area for freight for central, as there are lots of potatoe farms

 

Bigrig, you are so going to hate me but just can't help myself. You've made me flashback to the days of Dan Quayle and his "gaffe" of , is it potato or potatoe, tomato or tomatoe!!!!

 

I don't care, but I've always been a fan of Dan Quayle, and always spell potato with the E
