Thanksgiving Roll Call

Can't stand sitting around not going somewhere. Can't wait to go back to work.

 

he is only doing this to support you. this will help pay some bills. he`s a good man.

 

I am single so no reason to go home , extra 140$ holiday pay it's always a plus for me

 

Well, I would be home right now. But some bonehead decided to take his 10 break, less than a 100 miles away.

Load was due here 48 hours ago. I’ll be home by 1. Maybe there will still be some turkey left.

 

i am fortunate that the job i have the customer shuts down for the weekend, so we have a 4 day weekend..now, we still had to work T-Day eve, and when i got home this morning, it was straight to helping the g/f prep T-day dinner, so no sleep for me till later....or i may fall asleep in my smashed potatoes...lol

but sadly, too many times i pass by a truck stop, and see trucks parked (and idling as the temps drop), and those guys//gals are not home for the holidays.....

 

which only equals more tax dollars taken out, so that $140, might get you $98 net......(i based that on my states 30% income tax)...hardly worth a turkey dinner......

 

this is where paper is always better than electronics.....i never took anything more than a 15 minute nap (if at all) when i was that close.

 

Not all who wander are lost

I’ll be home today. But have worked many holidays in the past. And not just because I was stuck.

I have a very interesting family. We all work jobs that are not the regular 9-5. Nurses, LEO, etc. We have to plan every holiday weeks in advance.

Don’t feel bad for me if you see me at a truckstop on a family holiday. Because I won’t feel bad for you the next week, while me and my family celebrate.

Have a good Thanksgiving

 

I hear you lol

But I’m not sure paper could have saved me here. This guy picked up the load on the 18th. Less than a 1000 miles away. Even on elogs, he could have reset and made it.

 

back in my day, we could have picked up a load on T-Day eve, 2,000 miles away, and deliver it with in 10 hours....lol......and be home for T-Day eve DINNER....!!!!!!


lol...not really, but i think you get the point on paper logs.....???
