Broke Down 69...The Adventure Continues

Yeah, we had some rain last night. Then one bolt of lightning. I thought not another fire..lol

 

From my 4 years + of flatbedding experience with major flatbedfing companies - company flatbed driving is more on the stupid side. So much hard work, responsibility, risk for the same or less money van company drivers make. And guess what if you want to get home, it most likely means redoing somebody's else securement/tarping or taking some serious chances with your life and freedom. So if some super truckers brag how fast they can secure and tarp, there is a good probability a conscious sucker is redoing all that "securement", because he wants to spend a few hours home after all is done.

 

The ultimate optimist. You are positived the worst will happen.

 

Don't have many places with appointments, but the shingle plant in Jonesburg, MO is one. Got up here and stopped at the Flying Hook at the Truxton exit, called to see if I could get in early. Nope. Apparently they are over booked, so I'm stuck waiting. Oh well. Win some, lose some.

 

This makes my cynicism seem like me having an off day.

 

Kinda my thoughts exactly

 

Perhaps you should consider moving to a van operation.
Seems you know a lot about van operations. Sounds like it may be a better fit to your personality.

 

And true to form, there is now a chance of snow in the forecast this week. You should have been here 2 months ago so we could have put out the fires earlier.

Finally getting highs in the 50s and 60s with lows in tyhe 40s.

 

Time to get the chains ready....
