    Wake up everyone lol. How its everybody doing? Just wanted to check in to see if everyone is staying busy. Got my dad squared away and guess what in thinking if doing lol. Talked to my old dispatcher and the lady's in the office and was told the same thing again, come back when your ready. Where is everyone today? If your up north just to make you feel better it's been in the 60s here in Tennessee lol

    I needed good family coverage insurance which they do not have plus big g had a big pay raise...

    also my miles went down quite a bit..they never were really up to par where i wanted them but it was acceptable until they failed to get the insurance we were told was coming...

    all in all i like sec but now that i am with big g i am quite happy...the benefits are great and plenty of freight

    I still keep in contact with a few big g drivers and hear the same complaint I had. No miles. Hope it works out with you.
