    I've liked them all ... With me their main task is to keep me out of trouble ... I'm used to navigating in much larger organizations than Swift ... I tend to get off the reseveration and go chasing down the people I need on my own ...

    People become DM's thinking they can do it; I mean, how hard can it be, really? They get through training and then own the board by themselves. All of a sudden, it's just not the same...and the drivers start complaining and asking to switch.

    Buh bye, new DM.
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    Some days it would be easier to throw in the towel. I can't bring myself to do that with only a little over a year left .
    Just keep thinking about the endgame .

    It's worth it ... Just got my title ... $79 a week for insurance ... only other cost is fuel ... plus what I hold back for maintenance.

    I need to stop trying to solve other peoples problems and concentrate on my own. If I can help out without too much of a hassle I will, but in these crazy times I have to look out for me and my own.
    I get into trouble when I agree to too many things.

    Now let's take a deep cleansing breath (mixed with that leaking exhaust coming in) and try to focus on good things.

    Got the call at 530am. No school for the girls today.
    Sometimes I wish they'd just let me be surprised and let the kids find out from the TV news ticker or listen to the radio like we had to.
    Although, I did end up going to school a couple of times because I missed the announcement they were closed. That was when we first moved to northern MI and didn't realize it was a common thing to happen in winter.

    Layover pay kicked in today, as the "computers and phones are down" so I sat til this afternoon til I got a text to just head for a steelCase load to Michigan. Easy 175 mi deadhead, now I'm headed north. Hopeful I can grab a nice long run for the weekend to cover house bills due next week.
