    We are currently being loaded for our trip BACK TO THE COMMUNIST STATE. This pays pretty good because it had to pick up today but doesn't deliver until Wednesday.

    So I guess we'll just have to hang out at the house for two days.

    Well 45 hours later. Trailer hasnt seen the dock yet. I talked to the person over here and they are soon , but the crew leaves at 4pm. Should be this weekend. I had to get corporate on the phone. The agent was like the trailer is loaded. Wtf. Of course he wasn't answering the phone. No professionalism.

    Most schools are reprimanding anyone whom floats gears. Tho with automatics becoming the norm. Standards will soon be moot.

    Who needs a school when you can already drive... Just go take the test.

    I gotta work this weekend...
    Got unloaded, washed out and the broker I haul for is like “I need you to be in Jonesboro to load at 1130, delivers tomorrow in Rolla Mo at 1300.”

    I’m like, “Dude.. cutting it close?
    I’m 40 miles from there, it’ll be like 1145-1200 arrival.”

    Made it here to load at 1142.
    “Where you been driver, we been waiting all #### day!
    You think the world waits for you, yada yada....... ...... .......” (I quit listening don’t remember, but it went on for about a minute til I interrupted.)

    “Alright, you #### you need to call and chew on someone else’s ### I’ve done all I could, if you want to load the gosh darn thing there’s the freakin trailer, I was sent to pickup a load, not kiss your ###.”

    I’m getting loaded, maybe they’ll call the boss on me again.

    Main reason for school is cause not all the new "drivers" have access to a truck and driver to use for the test.
