Decisions, decisions, decisions...
My truck is a 2009 and won't be legal for CA come January 1. My DM told me there is a plan to keep the older trucks of the O/O's (there are several of us) from being dispatched into CA.
There in presents a problem. Note my home address.
Now true, it's really my daughter since I gave her the house after her mother died and decided to just head out on the road again, but I visit her often as well as my grandchildren.
I've recently purchased some property in southern OR thinking it's time to pull the plug, but quite honestly, I can't get too excited about 'stopping'.
My lifetime buddy, a non named member of the 'worthless night and weekend crew' keeps taunting me.
"Give it up! you won't retire!"
Now Ryan is offering me a 'screaming deal' to get rid of my truck and buy a 'really great' 2012.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Be on the yard soon kicking some tires (and a certain person still un named whose taunting has beckoned me)

Flue, you will very quickly see, after you get beyond your overly sensitive 'newbie' phase that there are plenty of 'steering wheel holders' out on the road that have absolutely no place behind the wheel of car, much less a big rig. I'm sorry if you took anything that I have posted personally, but as a woman that went through CDL school at 53 yrs of age and drove for 2 1/2 years without any serious incidents, I take exception to these 'wannabes' that get out there and don't care about anyone but themselves.Dryver, Crazy_Aardvark, Corporal_Clegg and 1 other person Thank this. -
I have been home for 9 days now, Dental work, Percocets, Med Hold, and tomorrow I am free to roll again. I am going stir crazy sitting around here. I actually am anxious to get back on the road.

Supposed to pick up a Fed Ex load last night in Irving,Tx at 8, so I sat all day yesterday at the Truck Stop in Dallas. Checked in and told they dont have enough freight for the run so they want me to go to Hutchins,Tx and pick up there. They call and set it all up. Stevens adds it as an extra pick.
I get over here and check in. They have me drop my empty and say they will call me when its ready. I go in and check on it at 2am, again at 4am. Not ready yet. Then when I check at 6 they say well, we dont have a load at all. They dont know why were even here. I explain the whole thing, he makes some calls. Well they dont have freight going there either so they cancelled the load.
Called Stevens and told them, now waiting to hear what to do, but they #### well better pay me for these 2 stops and for waiting. Its now 11:30 and still nothing. WFT????? -
I know does nothing for you, and dispatch has NOTHING for you as you fall through the big gaping no freight hole.
