    Tell that dude he owes me $50 for the TV or I will send him to Juarez, Mexico for a CH Robinson load. We don't do Mexico, but I will send him somewhere and sit him until I get paid!

    Slideways, why don't you take up this thread? You could be a resource to guys and gals new to the industry by blogging how its going, etc. It's also a great resource for you as your questions about shippers, places, and tips will be answered by all here. You will also make some great friends. I would still participate in it, but this is driver's forum.. I have crossed over to the Dark Side. It will mske you famous too!
    i will always still be here and chime in, its just that the threads important. Someone needs to keep it alive....not talk about how awesome their rolling chair is.

    I was in the office the other day and they hired some gigantic goofball. Chromed out his office chair and wheels around making truck sounds. At least I know this company hires others that rode the short bus besides myself.

    I make it a point to let everyone understand what goes on in MY day. I can only tell you about me. There's enough of us on here for you to get a good picture about how things work here. Me personally will tell you the good and the bad. I don't judge my job here on one day, I look at it weekly, then monthly. I did run my mileage numbers since the first of the year, when I run solo I've averaged 3300 per week, which is about half the time, when I train it's right at 6150 per week. The rest of my work environment is typical trucking BS.

    I really have no complaints, miles, home time, freight, dispatch are all the ingredients that motivate me. It's all here for me. Plus, the equipment is second to none.
