    Alright so it's been a little while but after seeing ethos I took a load down to laredo to drop off for Mexico and they had the wrong broker so ended up leaving it at the OC and bbt back to Houston and the next morning was gonna be taking a load to Dillon, Tx right near San Antonio. The problem was I got a call from my mother as I was going to hook up to the trailer and my ex and son had been in a car accident which totaled her car so I called dbl up and within 5 minutes was off load and had a run home got there yesterday. My son and ex are doing ok, she is bruised a bit but ok. Felt great to see my son since I left September 8th. Also finally picked up my TWIC. Last thing I am doing a local run today because I requested so I can be home tonight with my son but still make money. Which I gotta give Schneider the props for giving me a run home quick and for giving me a local to still make money. Gonna be going back out probably tomorrow till next Thursday so I can be home for Halloween.

    Glad to hear they are okay, I bet that ride home took forever. Nothing worse than not being able to get home when one of your kids is hurt.

    If that was me I would of made it home. Turn down the volume and roll on. They make exceptions for everything else I think family injured would be one.

    Hello all! I'm new to the forum but this has been an interesting thread. I'm looking to go to CDL school in January and am thinking about driving a tanker for Schneider. Just wanted to say hi.
