    I live in South Carolina now.

    Hey boss, are we having a three day weekend or a four day weekend?

    - Neither, why in the hell should we be off?

    Well, you know... I run Myrtle Beach and Charleston on those days. Don't you watch TV?

    - Nope, I get enough drama from work.


    I'll ask again tomorrow. But if they still want me to work after Wednesday, I am probably gonna go ahead and "take a knee". I don't see myself driving a truck towards the coast this week .

    That’s no excuse to take time off. You need to learn to be a team player, mister. o_O

    Ours have that too, and they told us it would send alerts, but I’m fairly convinced by now that it doesn’t. This contraption beeps at me for 5+ over countless times a day and I haven’t heard squat.

    Strapping in double stacked freight is overrated. All the real pros save time by just lettin it ride.

    Did you find out if you’re getting work off for the storm? I just read they’re saying it’s going to be a bad one. Really bad. I forget what part of SC you’re in, they say SE SC should evacuate by Wednesday evening or early Thursday morning. Stay safe and keep us updated when you can.

    Flag will be hiring WAY sooner than PRS. They do have quite a bit of driver churn. Unfortunately, they just hired a whole bunch of new drivers, so it might be a long shot for a while.

    The FXF website is the only way you can apply for anything here, so keep an eyeball on it--you never know when your chance may appear!

    Had the option to go to railyard in Jersey city yesterday, but city dispatch need it me to go to Mclane. Going there feels like that movie groundhog day. Receivers are grumpy and lumpers want money if you ask them to help you pull heavy pallet from the trailer. Greedy pricks
