    it doesn't last forever

    the good news is to survive you will have to pay attention
    and learn lots of stuff
    then you will be valuable to the next company with experience

    This 8 day trip with Cargo took me to Phoenixville PA (QVC merchandise), backhaul from Mechanicsburg PA (dog food from Ralston Purina) to Dunn NC. Pickup in Goldsboro NC of auto parts to Lexington KY. Pickup of Sports clothing merchandise in Lexington, to Ross Dress 4 Less in Rock Hill SC, pickup on Ross other side of the building took to Averitt Express terminal in Murfreesboro TN. All drop and hooks. Live load in Greenville TN of bottled water headed to Matthews NC but brought to the yard here in Claremont. Picked up a vinyl siding load headed to Winterville and Elizabeth City NC then home to Plymouth if I don't run out of my 70. I have eight hours left. The driving is seven hours worth. Worst scenario, I have to wait until Sat wee hours to drive an hour home from E City to Plymouth. My miles seem to be picking up. Just missed 3000 by 41 miles. Good thing. My medical benefits and deductions kicked in. $159 a week, but it is Blue Cross Blue Shield. TA was 29/week from Coresource but covered nothing. There is better if you can hang on a year at TA or similar starting company. Yeah pretty darn happy here after 3 months.

    $159/week you better get sick a lot o_O

    that is why i always mention that my $.42/mile includes benefits for me and the wife
    now she is on medicare and the part b was $103/month and the boss pays that because once the medicare kicked in she couldn't double dip on my insurance
    The government held Patty up 39 months to get her disability approved then even though they approved it she had to wait another year for medicare, I was like duhhhhhhhhhhhh don't you think disabled people need medical?
