    So after 11 months of driving a desk I'm back in a truck and back on the road terrorizing the motoring public.

    I'm actually in a yard truck from the Toledo terminal down here in Waco, TX picking up a machine going back to Ontario. I brought 2 new 35 ton stretch RGN's to the Waxahachie operations then in a couple weeks I'll take a slip seat truck with 2 more stretch RGN's and a flip axle to the main office in Arlington where I'll pick up my new truck and head back to Kansas and back on the wing team. Been a year since I went down the road 20' wide so running a couple small loads to get back in the groove.

    Family is still in Ohio but when the word came we were going home to Kansas my wife had the entire house packed up in 24 hours. I think she's standing in the middle of the street watching for the moving truck that isn't supposed to arrive till next Thursday. (If your an Allied driver near Toledo and you see a crazed woman in a jacked up F250 trying to run you down you'll now understand) I have to give her credit, she put on a good face moving to the big city but the truth came out the instant I said we were going home.

    Well that bites that you moved to Toledo and now back to Ks. Do you still have your house in Ks. or did you have to find another place?
    Sorry to read the other gig didn't work out for you...

    Okay, in order,
    Oscar I have learned to drive a 5 wheel office chair really well.

    blairandgretchen, your funny.

    wichris, you know I never work.

    heavyhaulers, no problem.

    And last but not least Carl, we kept our house in Kansas, my daughter stayed there and as for the gig not working out, my choice, just wasn't a fit for me.

    Well at least you had the option to be able to go back on the road.
    So now your daughter has to clean up the house, tell all her buds no more parties at the house, because mom and dad are coming back. lol
    I was kinda thinking about you and your family the other week. We were parked there at Newton's for the wkend.
    Be safe and oh what happened with Saddlesore, I don't think I've seen him post in a bit..

    I told you that you are too good of a driver to turn cubicle dweller. But I would bet that Toledo yard will not be run as well after you leave !
