    I usually start my day between 0000-0300 so I am asleep by 2000 most of the time

    Almost all trainers are lease but that shouldn't matter. When you get to orientation and then the four days of backing just stay strong to being company. It is not only the sales job they do on the yard but the way you guys will be talking about it back at the hotel. Everyone starts talking like they know and it is so easy but they haven't even delivered a load yet so how would they know? I had to assist once in unloading, didnt really much. Yes they pay but not worth it. Your better off sleeping till someone comes gets you. Remember this while they go home at a set time take a nice hot shower, eat a good meal, spend time with their family. You will be driving. So rest whenever you get a chance.

    When I was at TA, unloading trucks was highly discouraged. They would only pay, $1 per thousand lbs, if you ended up having to do it.

    HTQ how is the spider bite , Hope you are doing well. :yes2557: I had some crazy things happen with insects here in the Philippines.

    I bought a new motorcycle helmet here and stuck my new GoPro camera on top and had the helmet sitting outside most of the day. We decided to go for a ride and I put the helmet on and my wife got on the bike and just as we were taking off I felt something in my helmet YIKES had trouble getting the strap off but as I did a 2 inch Palmetto bug ( flying ####roach ) came crawling out. Freaked me out but the wife , family and friends got a big kick out of it , lol

    We are having 2 houses painted so they have been mostly open all day. The houses are just a few feet from the sea and one night we were going to bed and a sea crab was in our bedroom just crawling around on the floor.

    Had a 3 foot Lizard fall out of a coconut tree on top of our roof , I thought it was a coconut until I seen it running off.

    Was doing some measuring at some new property we have and as we were walking there was a horse tied to a tree and started bucking and snorting and just making all kinds of noise. The neighbors said it is not used to seeing any humans on our land , We had to pass right by him to get to our land so an old lady came out and tended to her horse.

    We have killed a few Cobra's on some other land we have but so far on the new land I have not seen any snakes but I am not looking real hard either, I told my wife I will probably wake up with a alligator in my bed next :(

    Vacation will be over soon and heading back to The cold weather in South Korea so I guess I should just suck it up and enjoy all these creatures.

    Keep us posted on your spider bite , those things can be painful for days !

    Question is have you had it checked out yet? Most spider bites are non poisinous. there are however the few that do require medical treatment and the quicker you catch it the better specially since you don't know what kinda spider bite you.
