Millis OTR journal

I wonder with the complete rebuild of Cartersville cause that’s what it’s looking like if Heartland is selling their Atlanta terminal and Cville is going the way of Texas.


Edit: who is Debbie and why did she wish us a merry Christmas.

 

Well I’m never going to come home again. Spend weeks at a time out on the road. Where no one wears a mask and half the people don’t have the vax. 4 days at home and I get diagnosed with the Covid.

 

Probably still got it out on the road considering all the factors you mentioned. There is usually a 5 day incubation period following an exposure based on information I just found from a reputable source. And no not some random misinformation channel on YouTube or quack conspiracy therosist on Facebook!

 

I sure hope not, because that Atlanta yard has made my life so much easier more times than I can count. Gaining the ability to use Heartland's yards is the one positive change that's come to Millis since they bought us.

 

Now you know those quack conspiracy theorists on Facebook have all done their own research.....by WATCHING YOUTUBE VIDEOS!

Hopefully you only have mild symptoms, @MIT and you recover quickly.

 

If mild is not being hospitalized then I have had mild symptoms. It crushed me the first 3 days. Monster headache, started to worry if my liver could handle the quantity of Tylenol I was ingesting. Congestion, fever, chills, aches, cough, sneezing.
At this point just dealing with congestion, and a severe lack of energy. Also have lost all sense of taste and smell. Getting it at same time as my wife, I told her I would have preferred losing my hearing.

 

Hope things are better now

 

GPI in Brooklyn Ohio on a good day sucks, doing it while recovering from Covid takes it to another level. This Covid is strange I can sit around all day feel fine but as soon as I start moving it feels like I have run a marathon. I’ve driven 3 hours in the past 2 weeks have had no issues. Getting out sliding opening doors, sliding tandems and GOAL takes everything out of me.
Still have no sense of taste or smell. You would think that would decrease my appetite but in an odd way it’s increased it.

 

So you're saying you still have Covid?

 

Yep and most likely will have Covid positive tests for the next 3 weeks or so. Apparently you are only contagious for the first 5 days or so but the Covid virus stays in your body for several weeks. First positive test was 12/28/21. That was the second day of running fever and other symptoms. On 1/04/22 had a delivery I had to make since I took a load home with me over Xmas. It was a contactless delivery so there was no issue with coming into contact with anyone plus according to CDC guidelines I should have been safe. On 1/07/22 I took a PCR test which came back positive on 1/10/22. I was told I could go back to work if I was up for it.
Still suffering from some of the effects of Covid no taste no smell senses. Get tired rather easily with physical exertion. Headache occasionally. Some congestion. Mornings are the worst.
