    GOOD LORD its been busy lately. I am so sorry I have not updated. The updates are as follows:

    The last few days have been VERY VERY busy, 500-600 mile days, trying to get the sleep cycle regular, and im working on getting all things squared away. So here is your updates:

    1) I do pretty good with hooking and dropping now.
    2) I am almost done with my training, and Rick saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaid:
    3) "When your done with training I want to hire you" And Ill accept it, better pay, and I like rick alot.
    4) We MAY get a walmart dedicated soon!

    Man, that was a long read, and I feel like I'm a better person for taking the time to read it. I am impressed with your desire to succeed TD, and I think you'll go quite far....literally, in this field. I can only hope that when the time comes I don't run into an issue like that, as I'm a laid back kind of person, it takes a lot to make me mad....I think he'd have hit the wall with that one. I feel for you, and I'm SOOOOO glad you are out of that situation and doing much better! Great read overall though, thanks for sharing.
     
    TruckerDragon Thanks this.

    You are welcome, the posts have slowed down for several reasons:

    I can only say "I am driving my miles" so many diffrent ways. Things have not been too interesting, and thats good. 500-650 miles a day that its available, most I can drive when its not. Rick is still awsome, still enjoying life so far, getting my savings back up again, things are indeed going much better than 3 months ago.

    I am glad so many seem to have enjoyed, and this is helping so many.


    RatherB, Where are you going to school here in Colorado?

    I will keep you all updated best I can. <3

    I give you credit!!! That would of done it for me. I would of gotten in probably a very heated argument at this point and it would not have had a happy ending. I have a lot more to read through this but I can tell you one thing you made it this far that's further then I would of made it.

    I am praying I don't get a trainer like this. This guy has an ego and expects everybody to be just as good as him. He should of been cool and not yelling at you. There is no reason he has to get mad. That's not going to make you relax any better and do any better.

    Truck broke down while I was driving, we spent the last 5 days in the shop. Bearing went, threw the fan through the radiator after utting belts and hoses, not pretty. 1,400 dollars for tow and express shipping and hotel, not counting lost money not rolling. Waiting for a load outta albaqurque right now.

    I tested out, have my owner op card now (cuz rick hired me) so sorry guys till I get off his truck you wont be getting my bad ### trainer :D

    Be safe all.

    Excuse my abcense, and how slow I will be posting in the next while, I am going through some RL things. Trying to figure stuff out, there is a thread on it so..I wont clutter this one :)
     
    Tapeworm and Gears Thank this.
