    Hahahahahaha, you funny man. LOL

    But yes I still put in for home time every two weeks. I don't take weekends off and usually shoot for Tuesday in and Friday morn back out. When you're old and wiser like Dave and myself, priorities change. For me family is more important than staying out chasing the green back for 4-6 weeks.

    For an update, sitting in Ft. Chiswell, VA with a load going to Indy. Cold as a mofo out tonight. Wind gusts up to 60 mph off and on, wind chill 7 degrees. So I'm staying in the truck keeping toasty. Did me up a cheeseburger on my G. Foreman grill, was better than any truck stop food.

    I sent a msg stating my interest in being a trainer Friday. Was up and down about it but after a little coaxing from a couple of people I sent it in. We'll see what happens.

    Be safe out there everybody.

    I will just play things by ear. I like money but there are some things in life that are more important, like family. They realize though that I have to work. I will find a balance once I get started.

    Good to hear your considering training. I know you will be good at it.

    I agree with your comment 100%, you gotta find that happy medium! As far as a trainer is concerned, Millis should start with a dress code! I've never seen so many drivers with sweat pants or pajama pants, well maybe at walmart. Lets clean up our act Millis drivers...####!:biggrin_25513:

    Millis may not have a strict one but since I go in breweries on a daily basis they have one. Millier requires long pants, closed toe shoes and no sleeveless shirts (muscle shirts, tank tops etc). I wear jeans, boots and a company shirt most of the time.

    on the yard, heading to the shower, is one thing but my pet peeve is seeing guys walk into shippers and such wearing flip flops. :biggrin_25513:
