    @supersnackbar off topic, are you aware of the property north of your town on 41 that has that awesome motocross track on his/her property? I grew up riding and racing dirtbikes well in to my 30’s and absolutely drool every time I drive by that place.

    I’ll post when I have something interesting or maybe I’ll post all the gory details of the W-TFI take over.
    I wish you all the best and hopefully the next company is a better fit. We had a good thing going when you came here.

    Chubby was going to take this company in a good direction under Secured Land Transit guidance. Once they realized we can’t haul their DOD freight, and we got punted to Wylie, that was a huge turning point. Chubby was not going to work under Wylie and they removed him and Kim in a real ####ty way. (They are back in Ohio, Chubby is driving a truck and Kim runs a service department at a car dealership. They are doing well btw)

    I’ll stay here as long as my boss is here and the money is coming in. We have some new rgn’s coming and we will be working a lot with our sister companies on some good paying freight. As long an Arlington and Fargo let us do what we do best. We can’t do the $10-20 per mile loads if we are hauling shingles and military containers for #### rates. Most of us don’t want to do that ####, for any amount of money.

    This probably isn’t my forever home, I’m only 33, but it’s by far the most money I know of. And at the end of the day, I’d say that’s why most of us work. Once my house is paid off in a few months that priority may shift, who knows.

    Glad to hear those 2 are doing alright. I thought the world of them, they were always good to the drivers that busted butt for the company. It's too bad the greedy corporation management didn't feel the same way. I'd be surprised if Fargo lets SPD keep the decent paying loads. SPD is the assimilated junior company. Now that SPD isn't hauling quite as much Boeing freight as they were, I wouldn't be surprised if they just got blended into Wylie entirely with the exception of a dedicated SPD division for a Boeing freight...maybe that's why they're pushing to get teams hired so much lately. Either way, best of luck.

    I admit. That part does bother me too.. for me it's not karaoke. I sit and talk to myself all day long ... lol
    Well I will say our safety guy gets better #### to do then watch my live stream all day.. atleast I hope

    If there's any silver lining to it, is I was involved in a wreck back in August where a guy ran a stop sign and bashed into my drive axles. And the video was able to show I had my seatbelt on and no phone in the hand and was doing 2mph below the speed limit.. which was good because the a hole told the cops it was my fault.. I didn't tell him it was recorded, only showed the trooper when we were sitting in his cruiser doing paperwork
