Trans Am Still

Sorry I have disappeared guys. Been sitting at home since getting off the road with my son. I been taking some time off looking for a local job and not just in trucking. I think I am done driving. Time to go back to what I went to school for 20 years ago. I will try and keep in touch here.

 

I have been thinking of you kf4omc and wondering what had happened to you. You know you have our best wishes that you find the job that will make you happy! Please keep in touch and let us know what and how you are doing. Good thoughts and prayers sent your way that your job search is a success!

 

Hey everyone currently In dallas tx unloading at the cold storage. Not sure where I am headed after this. I finally did 3154 miles for this week. I usually average 2200. Anyway everyone be safe out there.

 

Excellent Melo. That tops my best at 3128. Congrats man!! I only got 2012 miles last week. Did alot of sitting and swaps this past week. Sitting in a dock at Coca Cola as they stuff my trailer wifh Minute Maid lemonade and other flavors I guess. I was 45 minutes late getting here. Left Lake Worth Service plaza on the Fla Turnpike at 1030am and thought it was a five hour drive, but I stopped for a 30 minute break and got stuck in Kissimmee and Tampa traffic. Also stopped for trailer washout and load locks and topped off reefer fuel. Really got screwed when I got off I 4 onto US 92 through Tampa. Showed up at 6pm for a 515pm appointment. Really hate that. Should have started my clock earlier. But then my 14 would run out earlier. They have stopped loading my truck. He told me to wait in my truck. Was hoping to make Jasper or at least my fuel stop in Ocala. Neither seem likely now. May have to sleep here. But at least I can do that here.  I noticed a porta john.  That's a good sign.  Hope I get to keep this load. If I don't, I'd better start reading the handwriting on the wall. Deuces.

 

Good luck to you, kf4omc. It is difficult being on the road with a family at home. I'm happy that George enjoys his job, but him only being home 4 days per month(aoorox) is rough. I miss him! As HTQ said, please keep in touch. Wish you the best!

 

Pete, it's almost moving day, isn't it? Hope all works out super for you and Miss Pattie (sp?)!!!
