COVENANT -- From a wife's perspective

i got preplanned and worked like a dog chasing his tail....now i'm in the arse crack of america and they don't answer the qcom, so i quess i am being dumped here for a while, i started emailing and writing for jobs.....i know that i will stay here 1 year and no longer if need be, this company sux.
The whole situation in the USA is going to get worse, and the money is going to shrivel up...if i told you what i made this week some of you would think i'm nuts for staying here...but until i find a place to go, 1 bean is better than no bean.

 

Ms. and Mr. RC, hope you are doing well. Very sorry I haven't had much time to read all the comments or post anything. Have been hectic here since last Tuesday. Got on Walmart dedicated (a dear friend helped me with that ). So, new dispatcher assigned me a trk (pretty bad shape trk). Cleaned that filthy truck (they paid me for that) and took it to shop. On Wednesday, mechanic said would take 3 to 4 days... DSP said, "that's too long, check these other two." So, I picked another trk (better shape but even filthier). Had to clean it too and move all my things (all night doing that) and fixed what I could by myself to avoid going in the shop. Now I am on the road. They already gave me 3 load assignments. Enough to keep me busy until middle of the week.

 

isnt it a shame that Covenant drivers have to revert to "camping out" just to be able to eat and take care of their basic needs ? theyre given the responsibility of operating and maintaining a $150,000 + rig but are treated like theyre operating a #### covered wagon ..... "AMERICAN GREED , DONT WE ALL LOVE IT?"

 

Mrs RC hope everything goes well for you mom. I lost my dad, back in 91 from cancer of the brain. It started out were he was parking his car in the driveway, and his brain did not register hit the brake so he ended up taking out the deck. The doc thought he had a stroke. Well after test they found he had two tumors on his brain. One was on the brain stem, it was real small and it would be taken care of with cemo and radiation. He was told that if they did try to remove it, then he would be a vegetable.

Well when they went to remove the other one, they doctors were surprised that the other one grew to the size of a baseball all from the oxygen after he was opened up. Well that was the one that did him in.

 

That is great that Redcoat gets to spend time with you

 

Glade RC and his team mate got to make a unscheduled home visit... Hopefully he will now be able to make some $$$ now that he is all rested up..

 

Enjoy your time togerther. You deserve it.

 

From the sounds of Mrs. RC it looks like their making a little money anway. Hope it continues and you two can finally be able to afford at least living for a little while longer....
