Melton, Whatcher 20

Really sorry to see you go especially now that I'll be starting on my own and was counting on you for help..lol... I always enjoyed your post and sense of humor...you know, you're leaving Melton, but you don't have to stop posting...good luck and let us know how you are doing..

 

Here in Sandpoint ID to PU lumber to deliver to Dallas on Friday...we should have loaded today @2, but my "trainer" took his time sending in an empty call(I think that is what it's called) at least a 20min too late and then know that we only had 2 hours to get to the shipper he still stopped at Flying J to get his coffee. We got there at 3:30 and they closed at 3..good for him we have to wait for the morning...1900miles that this guy doesn't deserve...Since he is now almost a day late loading this, watch him run us as a team..

Anyway the plan is to drop me off at the Dallas terminal to get my own truck, glad it not Birmingham, they would probably give me Flatbdn dump....lol j/k

Today was another day of huge mountains, very scary but I'm getting used to them and am getting much better at shifting thru them...next few days the mountains continue..ID, MT, WY, CO, before flattening out in OK and TX..I don't want to see fkn mountains for a few months..

 

I'll still be popping in from time to time and offering assistance where I can but you also still got triletter,wyndup and mrh2008 for advice. I'll let everyone know later where I'm at but I will say the new gig is Midwest regional with home every weekend.

Sad thing is I know of 20 people that left last week and that's not good. But I left for a lot of the same reasons triad did (minus the Wanda situation).

 

I didn't know you left, flatbrdn! When was this!?

 

I'm in sand springs OK right now. 400 mile run and I need to throw 12 chains on it. Flat steel. Fun stuff.

 

Yesterday. Lol

 

At KW body shop in Tulsa. I guess they want the truck to look pretty 3 months after someone backed into my truck. Day # 4 without a load had passed. And I have just come off ht not a happy guy right about now.

 

flatbedn, it's kind of frustrating how little information you're giving us on just why you left. If you don't want to post it publicly, could you at least PM me?

 

I want to get my final paycheck.
