    That's a no-fly zone. I don't care if you're offering me 6 bucks a mile. Kindly go along your way, feel free to never call me again.

    Yes end of the fiscal yr is July 31, and takes 3 to 4 weeks for them to get it paid out. Next quarterly bonus will be end of Oct, then end of Jan, end of April, and then again end of yr and quarterly at end of July.

    Just got a call from @CaptainDaveG ! The man, the myth, the legend. That's gotta be worth some trophy points here lol. Is there anything higher than Road Train Member? I think I just got bumped up :biggrin_2559: Thanks for the call brother. Feel free to call me anytime if you need to kill some miles. Be safe out there in the asphalt jungle.

    This is Altoona PA dock. A real fun one.
    Road is as wide as two trucks parked at a truck stop. Getting there was no problem out too. But this dock is the hardest I faced took me two tries to land it.
    Was pretty happy with myself after this one lol

    DnH in Avon NY this morning. Nice surprise as I rolled around the bend on Horseshoe Blvd. They reworked the truck parking outside the gate. Graded, all new blacktop and angled parking with lots of room. Just swing wide to make your right turn in, it’s tight. No one has even scrubbed the curbing yet. Lolz,,,,

    He used to call me but then I went local so I guess I'm not worthy anymore.... He is a great guy. Built himself up a little one man empire.

    I am posting this in the friendliest way possible. That is at least my intention. If you have been out there for a while and used to "how things used to be" you need to sit back for a moment and take a breath. I am dealing with questions and issues from folks that are 100% technology confusion. I get ZERO messages on my Qualcomm. All of my loads, all of my communication, all of my problem resolution, everything... it all comes from my phone. If you aren't tied in, don't even bother looking at O/O. Yes, there are small companies that don't operate in a mega-corporate fashion and pay better and give better home time. But they are all technology based. If you can't or won't use a smart phone and can't adapt, this is your curtain call. Sorry man. You knew it was coming, you chose to ignore it. Go fish and golf and take your wife out and enjoy your life. Your time is gone. Trust me, I don't like it either. But I've been a video game kid since I was 5 years old and got my first Atari 2600. Kept up to the point where I can still build a formidable gaming computer. If you don't want to deal with technology, stay happy at your company job. Sorry man, just being real. This post isn't necessarily meant for a specific person. But I don't want to call anyone out and embarrass them. Stay happy where you're at. Can your job suck at times? Absolutely, 100%. Guess what, mine does too. Every single day. Adapt, man, it's 2018. Can't help your train of thought.
