    I'm surprised that Siri didn't get an attitude...."I give up...I've got nothing"..."you're phone will self destruct in 5 seconds"

    Siri is the best, I was probably linked up with a crap android spellcheck.
    I'll catch up on the Magnum thread tonight, ugh, I'm probably 40 pages behind,
    I pick up Sunday in Mattoon and head down to Dallas, maybe I'll run into @stungjoe and get a ride in the hot rod
    Edit, the heck with Magnum , just got this

    Checking in. Been rather busy the last few days - both a blessing and a curse in this industry. Lots of loads, now having to start to run on the recap.

    Camera is in the truck and I've only had 3 phone calls in 2 weeks so far. 2 for following distances after being cut off in traffic, one for going above 70 mph downhill in a 75 mph zone on i35 (Yeeeeaaaaah - nobody around me, middle of the night, no turns. Still got a call.)

    Finally had a few stress free loads, even got to shag a bit in the Houston area. Truck started peeing everywhere, and I had a load going from Minnesota to Houston with a little time on it so I was able to baby it into the shop the next day in Dallas. Currently in Arkansas, just finished loading at a pet food place in Siloam Springs and rolling out to Lincoln, Neb tomorrow morning - out of hours for the day and this place has overnight parking.

    Hit up the Choctaw Casino last night on US69 and got bent over in the poker room. Lost a $300 hand - had A/2, flop came A/2/4. I bet $60 to get the posers out of the way, one guy called me. Turn is a K - I bet $90, he calls. River is a 4. I bet $150 to double the pot, he calls and turns over K/4. My mind went blank - who the hell calls $60 with a pair of fours with an A on the board?!?!?

    Is safety calling you? I had to call them,
    Tell Shane and Guava if they don't like the way you drive, then to fire you, they'll back down and then tell them to go #### themselves and that if you sewed them together they wouldn't make a pimple on you ###.
    They'll get tired of your foul mouth and yank that camera quick.

    Congratulations on becoming a Professional Driver bro. As far as pay goes don't get disappointed with the pay. You will do just as good there as with any of the big new driver companies. You will need to get a few months of experience under your belt to get the better pay.
