Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

I wonder did she get your load of the load board?????? It sucks being stuck on any of the holidays.

Panhandle, Nice pre-sets.

Did the G/F understand you can't always be home on the date you ask for?

 

Thanks for the info.
Good luck over the Fourth y'all!

 

Jess, think the problem with the g/f has more to do with her drug addicted son and the fact that she can't seem to be able to practice "tough love" cause he's her 'baby". As an addict myself, the situation really ticks me off and sometimes have problems with keeping my mouth shut.

I call myself an addict and I am. Just not in an active phase of it, and many thanks go to my family for that. They did do tough love and even got me into a rehab after my last time in jail. Told me to either get clean or don't come around. Family REALLY does come 1st with me and it worked.

 

I think we all have addictions mine is the dreaded cigarette and the truckers report!!

Life is tough I have a nephew in Australia who is always in and outta Prison because of his drug and Alcohol addiction and I know his mum (my sister) has trouble saying no more help, shape up or ship out.

"Wonders how I would go giving up ciggies" really don't think that I want to find out!


But on a serious note my cap is off to you for staying clean and putting your family first.

Ahhhhhh but Panhandle you won't have to talk much lol, just nod and say uh huh

Besides you can't run into him until I am back in the truck, its so totally unfair that he gets to meet people from the Forum before me!

 

Still doing good. Aced my permit tests yesterday. Chevyman or whatever his screen name was on here beat me by one question so we came in 1st and 2nd in testing scores so they gave us free G.O.A.L. hats. Finally going out to fool around with some trucks tomorrow.
Guessing JJ finally got out of here some time last night after his shock finally got fixed. Sounds like that might make his load a bit tight. Anyhow I'm starved so I'll check in when I get a chance. Can't wait for the weekend so I get out of the bunk house and over to the Ramada.

Cool to hear that our Forum members are acing the tests!!

Yeah he left WVC yesterday afternoon and delivered this morning in Hayden ID, he is one tired unit.

JJ and his student Larry are in Grandview WA, They have another load on and I think its going to Denver.

 

Hey ... those of you who struggle with the heat! Check your state for grants on auxiliary power units. Some are offering half off. If you driver for someone else, tell your fleet owners to check into these grants. We are making payments monthly on ours and find it more than pays for itself.

 

Regarding the business aspect...we used ATBS and had terrible service. The man in charge of our account was fired! We never received the services promised, and after six months, we found an accountant who understand the trucking business. It is critical for the per diems and depreciation!

 

I am not that impressed with ATB's at the moment either.
