    Doesn't necessarily mean he has to worry about testing positive. Could be he's bald like me and if they want to do a follicle test on the top of MY head, they'll have a problem....

    Happy holidays everyone. I've been busy like always, running mostly the Midwest trying to stay out of the northern parts. For the past week and a half I've been doing a lot of south east, it's nice to stretch the legs a little and actually have a place to park at night that's not crammed full lol. I've had countless issues over these past couple weeks, from trailer searches, customer issues, loads canceling, getting to a customer and hearing "sorry that load got taken yesterday from another Schneider driver" it's been rough. It's slowed down a bit so trying to piece my week back together after one of these problems is more difficult than it was. I do understand that #### happens, but when it's a problem that Schneider dropped the ball on its a little more frustrating to deal with. I have to take the bad with the good, and I am positive and keep pushing forward.

    My truck has been running great *knocks on wood* a couple months ago I treated myself to a satellite dish so I could watch more then movies when I parked for the night, or sitting at a customer. I went with dish network I have 300 channels for 80 dollars a month, not terribly bad I guess. I also have HBO free for 3 months, I'm not crazy about it though it seems to replay the same crappy movies, every now and then something good is on, but being able to watch football NOT in the drivers lounge chillin in my truck is pretty cool.

    That's it I guess, I'm going to update more as the winter time snow hell is approaching and freight slowing, I'll have a little more free time. I hope everyone has a good holiday, and more importantly be HOME for it lol. Stay safe!

    they take it from where ever you want. Schneider usually shaves a path of leg hair off. That's what was done to me and I was told. It really could be hair from anywhere.

    I've been enjoying this unusually warm weather for the past week, I get to Cincinnati and its low 30's. Winter came to quick ######! Oh and by the way....running on recap SUCKS! It's been making planning my week out more difficult, I hate doing a 34 out on the road, but sometimes i think it's worth it.
     
    Sneakerfix Thanks this.

    Well direct tv sounds cooler, obviously:D But I've had experiences with dish quality vs. Direct tv and I personally think dish blows. Only thing I've experienced better than direct tv, was Comcast, but I don't think it's available as a satellite option. It really just depends on what you watch on it. As far as sports and such, I think direct tvs packages are better but other than that, it's pretty much the same stuff. I've always had cable tv and internet but after deciding to go with satellite, I don't think I'll ever go back. If you had dish at home, could you watch it in your truck without a satellite?
     
    T_TRUCKER. Thanks this.
