My Schneider Adventure

Well, Schneider offered the job @.41cpm...but I can't have a rider until after 6 months of employment. So, reluctantly, I had to turn down the job.

 

I don't know about how good that will be with him and you driving and studying and homework. Honestly as a father to another he and you should stay local at that age the best life would be just that coming to a home and his bed every night. Have you checked food service companies last time I was in okc Sysco was doing hiring

 

I understand you don't know our situation, and I appreciate your comments as a father. So let me bring you a little more up to speed here, driver. There is no one else in our lives. His mother OD'd in January and is "alive" only through use of a feeding tube. There is no consciousness to her brain. Nor will there ever be again. I don't believe that a child of 9 should be staying home by themselves for several hours a day til I get off of work. Which limits my work schedule to the daylight hours of between 7:00 am, and 4pm. The school will not allow him to be dropped off the bus without an adult there. And I'm not going to make him get himself up every morning, get himself ready for school, and walk by himself to the bus stop 1/4 mile away, to wait for the bus. (See above statement of "NO ONE ELSE IN OUR LIVES" for reference). I have no help, I have no assistance, I don't have anyone with the ability to help. With my limited hours for work, I don't make enough to move. I'm not on any type of government assistance, I pay for his meals at school, I pay for food at the house to cook, I do the cooking, cleaning, laundry, mow the grass, help him with homework, attend school functions, and still manage to find time to spend with my son fishing, hunting, playing games, etc, etc. AND...I do everything by myself. I do everything that a married couple does together, all by myself.
And yes, the food companies. They usually require you to start about 5-7am, and get off somewhere around 5-8 pm. So please, tell me more about how you think I should do this. I'm all ears, sir.

 

A nanny/baby sitter is the way I did it for 6 years with mine while her mom was in the service But I wasn't driving a truck I worked from 730am to 430pm so I would take her to school at 7am then the sitter would pick her up at 430 she would get out of school at 2pm but would stay in a afternoon program that would help with home work and other things. At 9 you start becoming more social with others so that would be a hit as he gets older with the ladies don't you think being on a truck 24/7 is hard as adult?

I'm not telling you what should.. Just saying what I would do which means absolutely nothing.. Hope everything works out for you two

 

I'm in southern Oklahoma...91 driving miles southeast of OKC

 

Try Frey miller they are in okc

 

Yes I do...It's just over ten years ago

 

OTR isn't something that changes, God I hate it When companies act like the interstates move around randomly and the cities disappear.
Plus you were still driving. It will come back to quickly. Good luck
