Joe & Tow's new trucking adventures/ex GTI thread

Dang! NOAA is predicting snow for half the country Sat.

NM should get dusted Sunday (yep almost all of NM).

 

Yep, I am heading up to Salt Lake City tomorrow.

 

Hey all you guys be safe out there. Winter is always the worst time to be on the road. I'll
be back out on the road in a few months. I
figure maybe after it starts to warm up again.
Now that I can afford it and found a company
like SEC that's willing to let me take off as much
time as I want to, I am gonna do it. I got trucking
in my blood. I will never give up my CDL. I will
keep reading how y'all are doing.

 

snowbirds have invaded the trucking industry.....

Lol....have fun my friend

 

At one time I had the best job. I ran a tri-axle dump doing construction during spring, summer, and fall. I would work my tail off during the warm months, then get a DJF layoff for the worst of the winter months. I had big enough quarters to get a pretty healthy unemployment check. If the owner didn't get greedy and alienate himself from his customers and lose most of his accounts, I'd still be there.

 

states like Mass and NJ where top rate unemployment is $4-500 / week plus dependents little incentive to go back to work

 

It's finally snowing in Western Michigan. And it's measurable. Nice!

 

Cranky Yankee

Coming up 25 out of South Carolina today I saw a sign in front of a shop that said Cranky Yankee Woodworking. Did you move to SC and open up a shop? LOL I just thought it was kind of comical.
