    And I say what I mean and mean what I say... this is today’s stock market trade.
    WBA is Walgreens. Earnings got posted, I saw figures and shorted. Just closed position. 2790.00 profit.
    I look at it as my fun account while I’m out here. Gives me something to do...

    But I got 3 hrs of sleep because I’m on California time. I had to be up before they posted earnings otherwise the trade wouldn’t work.
    Now, back to bed and heading up Route 5 later in the day. I have until midnight to deliver so I’m good.
    55 and stay alive!!!! lol

    Don’t get me wrong it’s not easy money. I work for it. I research these companies on my 10 off. Yesterday I lost 550.00. But I like doing it.
    AND I’m no troll people. I’m just like you. Just sharing....

    Just went over Donners pass.... or whatever you call it. I’ve been driving for or since 2003 and that got my blood flowing. I saw a bunch of guys... Prime, Swift, CR England and a few others with there hazards on. I couldn’t imagine what they were feeling. Probably most of them have less than 6 months on the road. I felt bad for them. I took it at 45 in 8th gear. It wasn’t too bad. Had to Stab Brake often and kept watching my air pressure. All was well tho.
    Anyways, hope everyone is safe out there!
    Still at Crete, yup a well experienced guy is working at Crete and liking it. They never call me, bother me or really anything which I like. Maybe because I get things done and don’t play games. Idk.
    Hey, I look at it this way, I’m netting more than 1150.00 a week. I save 1000.00 a week with no bs. Which I am.
    That’s roughly 52K a year. Times that by 5 years... 250K
    Maybe 10 years, that’s a half of a million dollars! Sure it’s a sacrifice but nothing in life is given to you. You have to take it. People say, “when my ship comes in, I’ll be just fine”! News flash... ships don’t come in!!! You have to go out there and get your ship and that’s simply called sacrifice.

    You have never gone over donner pass in a semi? It’s interesting taking it your first time in a semi truck I was fine but I went 35 down it taking it in the winter is a lot tougher especially when there is about 4-5 inches on it I did it and made me really concentrate

    I don’t get the big deal about Donner or any other pass for that matter.

    Agreed. If you respect interstate grades and maintain your equipment, they normally won't kill you.
