Ok< Here's The Deal...

Susan,

If I didn't care aboutcha, I wouldn't have "scolded" you.
Perhaps I'm more sensitive about haulin' high-value loads because I've hauled so many of them.
And I wouldn't have been able to sleep knowing there was a million, or more, dollars worth of cargo in my trailer -- parked in front of my home-20.

Consider yourself fortunate that your load wasn't tampered with or stolen. You'd be interviewed by the FBI, and might even have been considered a suspect or an accomplice in the theft of Interstate Cargo.
There's a LOT at stake here.
Actually, truth be known, and although you may not realize the full impact of what MIGHT have happened, you got off pretty lightly.

I hope you find whatcher lookin' for with another chance to prove yourself. And I'm convinced you've learned a lesson, albeit the hard way.

Do me a favor?

DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!!
Okay?

 

YuP!
You've hit the nail right on the head, Brickman.
And I'm grateful that there ARE those who prefer to run local ---
so I don't have to deliver those sundry items to market.

To ALL the local drivers I have known.....
I appreciate y'ALL ---
One & all
Yes I do.
Job well done.
Carry on.

 

I was reading your initial post and getting encouragement from your Lewiston, ID experience...as I'm going there for training in three weeks. I decided to look at your profile and checked your latest posting.

I was so sorry to hear what happened. I do think though, that you could get into some local trucking like grain or farm and do ok. It would be a chance to keep your trucking career going and leave what happened behind.

Good luck!

James
