Broke Down 69...The Adventure Continues

Thing is the owner of your company is making bank on premium rates running into the NE.

He needs to allow some of that to trickle down to you as the guy putting in the work and make it so your wage is commensurate with what it was running to the west coast.

Somehow I don't think that will happen though. A lot of these company owners can't see the forest for the trees and are willing to allow good producers go on what they deem is "principle".

I wish you well however it works out.

 

I worked at one place that paid 5 cpm more for the NE. Maybe not enough but better than nothing.

 

Sleep and water are good ideas. Back away from the orange juice, or anything with high free sugar content. With a cold, if you aren't hungry, don't eat. Water and sleep is good.

I used to get colds or the flu several times a year. Last time I was sick was three and a half years ago. That was around the time I started drastically changing my diet. Most of what I eat is raw fruits and vegetables. I eliminated bread, soda pop, and simple carbohydrates or sugar of any kind. My sense of taste changed. The thought of ice cream or anything sweet repels me today.

Dropped 40 lbs in six months. Dropped blood pressure and resting heart rate dramatically. Went from prediabetic to the doctor saying, "What the #### did you do"?

 

High fructose corn syrup and artificial sweetners are the worst. Just wont consume the stuff.

 

That was the first step in my journey. Really difficult if you consume convenience food. The big step was getting a cooler (now a refrigerator) and restocking it at least a couple times a week. Now it's like freedom when I shop for food. I bypass most aisles and hone in on real food.

 

Fully understand. same way.
We actually cook from scratch, like with ingredients, not prepackaged stuff.

 

Dang, man. That blows. Hopefully the dispatchers remove their heads from their fourth point of contact and get you out of there.

 

A good thousand mile run on Friday and you could end the week on a more positive note
