1 year 8 months. I guess we could just run with the thread from here.

I've wanted to drive a big truck for along time. Thinking back, that would have been a disaster. Get a few beers in me and I was 10 foot tall and bullet proof. Imagine that in an 80k wrecking ball. Scares the hell out of me.

Now, I make it a point to catch a meeting when I'm laid over somewhere. I've got this app on my smart phone called OneRecovery. It has a feature that uses the gps to locate meetings where ever I'm at. Having knocked off several states, I want to attend a meeting in every state. Just added it to my bucket list.

 

Honesty in all our affairs. In the last 3 months I've had 2 accidents, not DOT reportable that were extremely minor with no damage to my truck. Then I had a real accident, ran over a guard rail, that was DOT reportable. Flat tire was the damage to my truck. No citations in 14 years. Company let me go. Now, with 3 accidents, I've yet to find another company that will offer me a job. I know I did the right thing by reporting the other 2, but no pay check is really hurting right now. Unemployment is under review as well and doesn't look good for benefits because I was fired. I am getting to attend meetings on a regular basis now, but that's not putting food on the table.
