Flatbed Owner Operator 1st run completed (Student)

All I can tell you guys is this...........If your looking for adventure, obstacles, and challenges well trucking is the way too go.
It was a hell of a 1st run. I made it home safe no accidents no violations/tickets.. I gained alot of knowledge on this trip learned
allot, there is so much to learn..Im getting the hang of tarpping and un tarping, its not that bad as i thought it was at first, i still need to get the smaller sizes.
Slowly im getting the hang of it, and driving as well, my body isnt use to it, slowly but surely. I have to except the fact that in trucking when you go pick up a load , it wont be your turn for another 4 freaking hours :/
AND when you go for drop off and wait 3 hrs for you to get unloaded they come to and and say "Oh sorry driver they sent you to the wrong branch, Its about 5 miles down from here" <<<< SOB...5 miles in Philly is like 2 hrs man. I didnt like the east coast much its to congested, and their rude, I looks out perfer west coast, but when your Owner Operator you go where the money is, am i rite? So im not going to be picky about it.....Im going to now enjoy my day off, have some Coronas on my patio and jup in my pool...I get a call fro my dispatcher, hes a real good guy very hard worker i pay him pay 10% of each load of my and its worth every cent. He just called said listen Johnny i know your off but i just wanted to let you know there is a load from Chicago to N.C pays great you can pick it up today if you want i can set it up for deliver Mon-Tues, you can leave Sunday..... Stuff like that real good guy, I enjoy working with him. So Ill be leaving Monday and enjoy my 4 days off..
You guys be safe out there and one ore thing.....KEEP ON TRUCKING!

Thank's

Jonny

Rick listen too Oscar he knows what he's talking about.
Having a dispatcher is beneficial for me. Its worth it, and no its not just a phone call, he busts his ### off.
He hunts for good loads because 10% for him each load, not 50 bucks fpr each load where he will just don't give a rats ###
