    He's refer, never had any accident or damaged anything. He's been driving just shy of 2 years but he drove over 15 years ago for a couple of years. He's good at what he sets his mind too and he loves driving. He's still home. We are taking care of family business and all is well. I didn't call his company. And I'm not beating him up. Hey, he brings home the bacon. My job is to support him any way I can. And I'm happy to do it. Thanks again for all the words of wisdom.

    Well, as it turned out he had a bad bug. It wasn't the alcohol from the previous day that made him sick. I thought it was weird. But, when he showed up for work they said, yeah, we have taken accept your resignation. One, they should have said that up front when he offered it, not say it's okay and change their story later. And he had only been there a month and 1/2. They flew him to pickup his truck with a promise to get him home in a week to pick up more things then he could on a plane, never got him home, and he had 3 different DMs in a month and a half.

    It was so much better then Swift we both thought but looking back, maybe a blessing in disguise. All in all though a good or as good as it gets parting of ways.

    Resume to Danny Herman, they called and are talking tomorrow. Western Express wants to send him a bus ticket to orientation. I don't know which to advise. Advice? He needs to stay with the company he chooses now more then anything or no one will touch him. I would say at least 2 years. And I don't want to be home alone for another two. I'm 53. It's taking a toll. I expected to be retired and have a place in Mexico, Puerta Penasco in a year. And I can. But he can't.:-(

    I want out of the AZ heat. I want OR coast half the year and a nice safe Mexico beach home, or St. Thomas:)

    I'd go with Danny Herman. You can ride along also. Trucks set up nice for driver comfort.

    That was my though. Western Express said they had the and free DirecTV but then the recruiter had to back track what the job description said. Also no paid orientation ECT ECT... Danny Herman is out of Nogalas and that's about 3 hours from here so that's my concern there.

    Also, you keep trying to get me to ride along. I'm scarred to death of that! I thing I died in a car accident in a past life! Also your forgetting my 1000 thread count sheets, my massage chair and my 3 dogs and two cats!

    St. Maarten (Dutch)/St. Martin (French) is better than St. Thomas. This island is French (Northern half) and Dutch (Southern half.)

    Okay, that sounds perfect. I'm a diver. Put me in the water, not the passenger seat please.
