    Me too! :biggrin_25514:

    Just relax a little Smaggs. It's way too easy to let that crap get to you. You'll be all balled up and stressed out in no time if you let it eat at you. Look around at some of the other drivers, you'll see what I'm talking about. Gotta just enjoy the ride. But yes..... I understand your frustration. I've lived in Phx and lived in SoCal. I couldn't WAIT to get out of SoCal.

    You rant like a seasoned PRO!!!! :biggrin_2559:

    I agree, got to relax a little, but i know sometimes you get all worked up but you have to just take it with a grain of salt and forget about it.


    Cool vid though, the way you look when you said get a job don't be a bum i got a little scared myself and i got a job. But on a serious note when you said people were watching you and following you thats not cool at all. Got to be careful and always know whats going on around you, i don't trust anybody lurking around t/s, you just don't know what there up to. Be safe Smaggs,

    Thanks! I'm proactive about safety. I walk with other drivers at night or anytime I see lurkers.

    Also... Watch out if you do laundry. One day a dude tried to steal mine. The other, a bummy lady at a Flying J in Denver tried to mix hers in with mine. I learned not to walk away from my machines.

    Other drivers have been my biggest asset. I listen and try to learn. Lurkers, lizards and other moochers scare me.

    I'm hoping to get a few days off at home when I get to Phoenix tomorrow or Sunday. My girl misses me. Been away since July 19th.

    Worked hard. Brought home 1000. Not bad for low pay. Motivating me to do more and get raises.
     
    Jarhed1964 and Jamming Gears Thank this.

    Liked your rant on CA it was right on the money!! Hated having to go there. I drove flatbed and had to deliver several time to downtown San Francisco for a construction project. What a ###### nightmare. Had to park overnight on the street once.:biggrin_25510: The bums transients and winos seemed to be everywhere after the sun went down.
