    Hey AT
    It's common after you have been sick to not have an appetite for awhile but since you don't look like you have a few spare pounds to lose...I would suggest eating frequent small meals thru out the day. Consentrate on protein foods too-nuts, peanut butter, meat, milk/milk products etc. and make sure you DRINK water!!


    (hey it's the nurse in me!!)

    thats not true...my map has little lines going all over the place and not all of them go to or near DC....

    Sheet I could go 78S to 81s to 77S to 40E and get there to and never see any traffic lol

    The northeast....pfffft! Let me see a plan on the good 'ol qualcomm that states that I have to make a delivery to the northeast: "Oooooh maaaan, this stomach ache is killing me!" (coughing/vomiting/spitting sounds) and then groaning.

    Okay, so maybe I will never feign sickness to get out of going to undesireable places. That's why I keep a constant supply of aspirin. And the Washington state motorists gave me a migraine today too!

    I see WS has a new website design... at least it's new since I joined them in Feb 09. Just FYI for those looking into maybe hiring on with them, there a good company but like all companies they have their problems such as the pay they list on the web site ain't gonna happen and they really have screwed me personally on taking my truck home. My situation is unique though I believe. I live 105 miles from the closest terminal which they were aware of when I hired on with them and said it wouldn't be a problem especially since I stay out on average 3 months at a time and usually take less than a week HT; 3-4 days usually (my last home time was Christmas) then about a 14 months after being hired they started saying it was a problem even though my final was close to home (within 40 usually). Why I don't know. I eventually left the company only to start back with them again after Macon & Roxie talked to me and said it was no longer a problem. You guessed it... within about 4-5 months it was a problem again. They had me leave a company, rehire with them and broke the agreement with Rich basically just saying... sorry about that but we've changed our mind. So I don't put a lot of stock into what the say, like making $43,300 your first year or telling me I can take my truck home. If you don't mind that it's a pretty good company. They keep me movin', I am comfortable doing 2800-3000 miles/wk but have had a couple 4000 mile weeks as well. Good luck in your decision!
