Eagle Transport (Gas Haulers)

I work out of the Chattanooga terminal and i had a busy night but ya have to no also i have only been doing this for 2 months so i am not that fast yet .lol but i am learning . I am glad it is somewhat cooling off a little tho cause i am not used to working outside at all lol . i have been over the road driver for the last 15 plus years so i am not in real good shape .

 

I'm still hanging in there. Its been about 2 months now. I'm use to the routine of running at night. I must say there was a moment when I questioned my decision to haul gas when I started. It seemed like it was so much stuff to remember and do. My speed is picking up which means more $! Glad I came over.

 

Yeah thats what i have been told about it being a little slow for a while but thats ok right now i am still gettin that 800 a week for being a newbie lol . and that gives me time to get my routine going without having to worry about making money to pay bills .

 

Well, it's slow in Charlotte also ... not just Eagle, but everybody has slowed down probably in the order of 20 to 25% ... pretty much follows the pattern of the last few years after the big Labor Day holiday.

Figured this would be a good time to take a weeks vacation. Works slow and the wife is going into surgery on the 21st. The bone graft they gave her last year for her shoulder did not take so now they are only left with the option of replacing everything from the neck to the elbow with titanium rods and a whole new shoulder ball and socket joint ... also titanium. Guess we an take the magnets off the refrigerator and hang 'em on her shoulder. Just hope they give her something better for the pain this time around ... last time it was like a scene from the Exorcist ... I fully expected her head to spin around and shoot green pea soup all over the sheets. If any of yall are praying people ... how 'bout bring our names before the Lord ... Jean has really been through the mill for over a year now, but she has held up like a real trooper and done the best she could do ... still ... it breaks my heart to see her in such pain.

 

We been pretty busy over the weekend . For me it has lol , i really hope her surgery goes well keep us updated .

 

Thanks Smokie and Mty Pockets ... the surgery will start at 05:30 in the morning in Florence. We're using a different doctor this time from the one who did the bone graft last year ... I knew something was wrong when it took him 8 hours to do a 2 1/2 hour proceedure. This doctor comes highly reccomended and all he does is shoulders ... that is his specialty... God I hope it works this time ... this shoulder replacement is her last chance to live a normal life.

 

John I know your wife's surgery will go well. It sounds like she is in good hands.
