    I was not speaking of any particular post. Just venting about people looking for a perfect job and looking for a company who will hold their hands.......sorry:biggrin_25523:[/LEFT]

    Thats not a company.... Thats mommy. lol

    Well made it out of SpriMo again. Repowered a load from the yard with 2 drops. One in Fort Worth, and one in Dallas. Found the load, 9/14 straps are DOT out of service... So had to replace all 14 straps, finally left last night. Got to the 02 at 0315, after being up all day yesterday, this moring for a 0830 appointment. Supposedly there was overnight parking.... Lady failed to mention the gate keeping me out. So I had to park along the road on the nice wide shoulder. Not too bad. One way street, 2 lanes, bookended by stop signs. Was woken up at 0730 with a "hey were ready for you". Great..." Got unloaded with a crane for some unknown reason... Never had foam unloaded with a crane. Managed to meneuver my way out to the road again to finish my break. Woke up n rolled to the 90, dropped, picked up another load. FM said pickup then shutdown for the night.

    Roof was behind me... And we both know it wasnt "heavy enough" lol They actually pushed one bundle off onto the trailer and carried it away... lol I think the crane is overkill...
