Yall are just jealous of non owners and mean because....

Except he didn't drive a pete, cause he knew everything.

 

They've been slow as long as I've known them. Pretty sure 60 or 62. Maybe 65. I don't know. I'm a big time owner operator I do 70 to 80.

 

Hometime + adult bevs =

 

Well, I'm actually a little jealous of the owners, and not because of the money. The uncool thing about being a company jockey (even if it's a good company) is that you're ultimately busting your hump for someone else's agenda. I've always imagined that, as an O/O, you're still busting your rear end - but for yourself. You don't have to deal with some manager's or CEO's idiosyncracies. You may not get rich but, if you run smart, the beating you're taking is to advance your own interests - not someone else's.

 

I think some y'all had too many brewskis

 

Of course. That's what the recruiter told me.

 

In the Rookie Forum, see what the rookies and wannabes have to contend with? Driver cameras and running team and smelling other people feet for weeks at a time, Deskjockey telling that you can't go home or when you can idle your castrated truck that gets sick every time you idle it because some Beancounter screwed with the factory ECM setting, yet it must be you the driver that's doing something wrong...etc. Repugnant.

My agenda is to line my pockets, and have fun while doing it. Was on the motorcycle for the weekend, but got back in the truck for today. It was a little warm, so I took an afternoon nap. Near 90 and my AC can crank the temps down to 30. Opened her up a bit to hear her purr at 85. Today was a very good day.
