    I ate the petro fuel island hot box "food". Now my stomach is yelling at me. Hope the pepto works for me.

    Yes, we did South FL this time but trees went to Riverview, FL. We had two stops there.

    I see what you mean. It's not too bad, but when the guy kept motioning with swimming strokes as hand signals, I got out and we just agreed what "stop" was. I'm a day early, so I have to wait until tomorrow for unloading.

    Yup. Full day for unload, still not done. Then I'll need to sweep it out. Fun

    Got an email from Sandy yesterday about Equity but I have not talked to her. I found me a local job for now just to see what I am going to do later. I ended up having my lease cancelled for some things that a safety issue as they stated.

    The backing into the dock in Orlando was more frustrating than the tree yard. Having impatient day cabs mucking up the driveway didn't help.

    I'd honestly say stay put where you are until spring. Chances are you would end up on the fleet side, and it is chaos defined right now. That's probably why she contacted you, lots of drivers are getting fed up with office shuffle up and quitting. They just hired more dispatchers, and were given a ton of drivers on their board without thoroughly being trained. The downfall of saying "yes, I have experience"
    I'd recommend waiting until the dust settles in spring before jumping anywhere.

    Out of the shop and managed to shave off a few miles. I can now get to MI in one shift. Early to rise though.

    We missed you by a day. We overnighted at the shop. Just now waiting for 10 is up.
