    Had a first today...Jill took me to Canada to get to the shipper. No worries I was able to get out without too much issue and found a different route. No worries!!!

    Chris starts the 29th at UPS so it looks like I'm going part time solo.

    That's funny. Great for Chris. Are you doing the 7/7 or something different? Welcome to the dark side.

    Well, after a lot of thought, it's official. I'll be joining big orange. I start CDL training on the 2nd and then off to Dallas for orientation. I can't wait to get started!

    I wish....I was pretty much told I could run whatever schedule I wanted. Have to run 186 days a year to keep the benefits. I like running hard but I want to be home longer than 4-5 days at a time. 1st day is sleep, 2nd day is a little less sleep...more beer, 3rd day is fixing things around the house, 4th day is prep the truck and day 5 back out. I'm hoping to run hard/play hard/run hard again. She, the wife, will not travel with me. I tried but the thought of eating on the road and truck stop showers are not her thing.
     
    Grijon and softail Thank this.

    I married a Princess/Germaphobe. She would lose her mind the first time she saw a piss bottle in a truck stop parking lot
