    Im going to share that FFE had a Driver Manager or dispatcher embezzling. Apparently his pay was not enough. He liked his stealing. Got caught. BEGGED OH PLEASE SEcond chance. Sure, back to FFE, this time in Mississippi.

    Here is the problem.

    Wife and I may have been with him face to face wrestling with Payroll in Lancaster. Perhaps. We don't remember. They always paid payroll because we documented everything to the Nth degree, copied everything. But we did quit FFE the third time our checks were 0.00 on 7000+ #### miles the previous week plus. SHEESH. that summer.

    7000 miles to me and wife? Oh about 70 ot 75 cents to the truck. Sure you bet we had enough. Once sure second" er forgiven. Three times? nuh huh. Thats enough of that. Who the hell knows. Not a reflecting on the company itself just trucking. We had piles of savings that year so we literally just wrote it off. They pay us great. If they didnt? Eh... whatever. What a year that was.

    After the Mississippi capture of the embezzler the second time in the trucking related circles because the crime was big and probably federal charges. Sneaky too. But he got caught. We know nothing.

    Delivering seafood for Red Lobster Darden MBM was intersting. If a box should walk off at Market Rate.. guess what... YOU pay.

    Jersey had a lot of thieves. Running about in a MBM trailer that everyone knows has Seafood in it... hang a sign on my neck rob me. Sheesh.

    Trucking can be fun. Just be careful what you put on your #### 5th wheel.

    A few thoughts ...


    Hauling meds means a few segments with in itself.

    There are a few companies that are contracted to haul for the manufacturer.

    That freight will never see load boards.

    Carrying a weapon will cause a lot of issues, even if it is used successfully, there is in the contracts that the driver will have to abide by. one is abiding by the sites policies, which has a very strict no weapons rule.

    Yes indeedy.

    All right dead to correct here.

    I have a ... what is the word.. spiritaual warfare as it were rules judge by twelve or dead and bury by 6? As long as certain people in this life are being taken care of by me, Im going home even if I have to sit half the time in being prosecuted for weapons laws employer etc. I'll accept that.

    IF I was alone in the world? Then the bad guy will be doing me a favor.

    I don't know now too much because things have most certainly been hardened since 20 years ago doing this. I know I will be welcome but not the gun. I may have to let it go without. For it's sake.

    Thanks, I needed to hear this, I'm not about that life lol. I do like being able to stop to use the bathroom when needed. But more importantly, I didn't even think about the safety aspect of it. Probably not for me.

    That's why I come here though, for experienced drivers like yourself to give it to me straight!

    I appreciate the thought. Consider this.

    The gun? HA> I laugh inside. Bad guy knows nothing.

    Why?

    Medicine to those who need it (And alot of it) is very... fulfilling all the questions ever asked why did I ever get born here in this cursed life? If you are killed trying to take care of those who have too much pain or are sick bad, then surely God will have a place in the Mansion for you.

    The Bad Guy got nothing. And he will choke on the drugs. And then be condemned for taking away what maybe his own family in that hospital needed.

    Yes it is. Miracle nonopiod pain killer with the same pep in your step as a Rockstar's. Just run out west... here is the 2019 legal status... Its not a drug unless its waaaaaaay over done. Also from a shady vendor since they may alter it .. try new hope botanicals best one for quality and zero alternations...

    No! CVS bought them out in 2004. Today CVS is the largest Drugstore Chain and Walgreens is #2.
