    Rugerfan, how's the new gig going? I stay because my average net pay last year was $1115.00 a week after tax and all truck expenses, I get to work with some great people and a fair number of douchebags ( who are great for unloading on), I drive a cool truck all over this awesome country while getting paid for it, I go where I want when I want and I'm affiliated with a company that exemplifies the American success story. I'm not a company driver anymore which may be the primary reason I'm still here.

    They'd have to PAY ME $3K to keep that piece of crap! Took nearly a year to get my Qualcomm fixed correctly.

    That's nothin'... the load offer that takes the cake for me was when they had a JIT load that had to deliver six hours BEFORE I picked it up. I did a Mac-9 and turned it down, with the times I could make. The reason why I couldn't make the schedule: "Flux capacitor not operating properly".

    Then I got a message back from the night planner that said, "Please schedule maintenance at the nearest terminal to get it fixed"....

    .... !!!??? :D :D :D

    A phone call finally cleared that up....
     
    Moosetek13 and Lady K Thank this.

    It's funny how many planners have no concept of time and distance.

    I'm in Aurora, CO at a Costco parking lot for the night.
    After my delivery I found a nice little corner here instead of trying to find parking at TA or the terminal.

    No pplan yet, and I hope it's not too crowded when I finally want to get out of here. Things are a bit tight.

    Edit:
    And after a brainstorm, since there is no one in the lot right now, I decided to reposition myself for an easy out.

    Did you get flashed?

    I had my first flash a couple days ago.
    A car comes next to me and stays there.
    I look over and see a girl give a big smile, then she lifts up her shirt.

    I laughed and gave her a big thumbs up.

    thats what I do when I park in a lot, once everyone is clear I will move around and make sure im set where its easier to leave especially after waking up several months ago being blocked in by cars. I make sure im set where I cant get blocked these days.


    I have not gotten flashed yet, knowing my luck I will get it by someone I dont want to see :p

    Target dc in Denton.

    Co-driver is picking up and running a short run up to McKinney,tx then heading back to the DC for another load where I'll probably take over for the night.
