What if it Snows?

Man that sucks. I know u were itching to get back out here on the road. Hope u guys are able to get everything worked out in the meantime

 

Any holiday is just another calendar day....we did our holidays when I got home....not exactly the same,but it does count!

 

Would the employer happen to have a desk type job that is of interest to you?

Sounds like you have a solid plan with the family, but always good to ask I figure.

 

Idk i spent a thanksgiving chillin in Johnson’s Corner Petro north of Denver. That was some super depressing stuff.

 

Yeah I feel ya... I spent last Thanksgiving at a very remote, frozen, and drifted in rest area in Wyoming.

 

I actually made it back home for thanksgiving this past year. But spent christmas eve until january 3rd stuck in a truckstop in northern michigan. Well atleast it was a nice truckstop but still... made it my goal this year to make it home thanksgiving and christmas.

 

I ALWAYS make it home for Christmas... I have to be home to make sure Santa can get down the chimney ok to bring my kids gifts.

 

Got stuck at that TA in Troy IL.

Got moving and my drop and hook at the LA yard was given to somebody else by afterhours. I called the wife for an evac and was home on Sunday morning.

Regular dispatcher was not happy when she inquired why I did not answer her dispatch on the QualComm. I just asked if she read what I sent on Sat night or checked my availability date in the system.

 

My wife and son are awesome. We also do holidays when convenient not on a day. We FaceTime daily. When I’m on open road we talk for hours and hours. My son and I play at least an hour a day of call of duty mobile. I teach his science classes and we do that over the phone as well. He actually calls me every morning around 5-5:30am when he wakes...

it’s odd but we actually talk more now than when I was home. The conversations I think are better.

I miss their hugs though.

They get it. I knew when I started driving that the first year would suck. I didn’t expect to be in the position I’m in now so soon I thought I would be there this year not last. It’s a new business and work ethic and smarts are the key components right now.

I’m just rambling at this point @D.Tibbitt but it is what you make it.

 

Not here in NorCal, Portland terminal and the main back in the midwest..Can't say I am cut out for desk duty...just not my thing, I'm a driver not a suit so to speak.
