EPES TRANSPORT-Greensboro, NC

hey rob...do you run this forum....or your wife? Or is it that you post so much on here you "achieved" that status?(did I spell that wright fo a twuck dwiver? lol) I think flying got a whole new trend going on here! AWESOME! Do/didn't you work for us? Hope things are going good! Now if only I can get outta this SLEEZY Pilot in the morning! haha
Fun story for the day! I dropped at the Lowe's in Flowood/Jackson, MS...went inside and saw a really pretty blonde and gave her paperwork. She had an accent....REALLY THICK! Me, not paying attention as usual at drops/pickups(hey man...it's my break dangit! lol), ask her where she's from....she said, from here! I SWEAR I thought she was European(had that kinda accent too), so I asked(of course nicely), where her family was from...and she said I'M FROM HERE WHY?!?!?!?! Everybody started laughing! I felt like the fool! lol oh well. Southern chicks waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy down here don't sound like the southern chicks around GA/SC/NC! My Step-Mother is from WS and you'd think she was from GA! She has a REALLY THICK ACCENT! I almost felt like National Lampoons European Vacation where Clark has a translator and they check into a hotel and he trying to translate British(which IS English) on the translator! lol Have away at the jokes....that's what I'm here for!

 

Dink, dink, dink, we can not take you any where!

 

Well, I've made it though day 2 of orientation here in Greensboro. She told me I've been approved! yay! I have to go out with a trainer for two weeks since I haven't driven a commercial vehicle since November, 2010. I took a job in Winston-Salem so I could help take care of my mom. Now that she's passed away, I've been biting at the chomps to start back driving. It's been 7 years since I've driven a 10 speed manual back when I was with Swift. Drove for them for 6 months and drove for USX for five years in automatics so I hope shifting comes back fairly quickly and I don't scare the Hell out of my trainer. lol! So far I've been real impressed with everyone here at EPES!

 

Was over there a talked to Tracy this morning. Dan was in there with you guys, when I was over. Was tempted to poke my head in and pick at Dan. You know who your trainer will be ? Best of luck!

 

Thank you. I don't know who yet. I might find out tomorrow. I just hope we get along!

 

Best of luck num3fan!

 

The new pre- pass works in North Carolina now. I got the greenlight at the weigh station on 85N At exit 28 this morning.

 

Well everyone, Ii should be back in the saddle on the 20th. I can't wait. Had to take some medical time off. Hope I can't get in to that new truck Tina promised. I shouldn't say promise, that's a dangerous word in "twuking"....lol. I see everyone is doing well and got some new people onboard

 

ok...that's it......I'm taking a hammer to my prepass! lol I WANT THE NEW ONE! lmao
