    "Sorry we dropped the ball". That's what was told to me this morning. I was offered $300 L/O pay or bobtail 995 miles home. The bobtail home would have put me out of sync to get home for Thanksgiving, the $300, although a nice gesture is not what makes me happy. My home time when approved is what makes me happy. So today because I opted to finish a reset, I get to run a load up to London Ky. Over night. God I love this job sometimes. Not really, I hate this job sometimes, still love working here, but boy are they on my poop list right about now.

    Well, I guess I was the lucky one this weekend... an hour out of Indy at the moment, go drop this trailer and grab one heading back to Wytheville to drop later tonight... then hoping to head home from there for my two days of hometime to vote and hit the honey do list.

    Stay Safe

    It's a shame that when other folks say it, it's their fault, but when John says it, well... No offense meant to John at all. Just my opinion. Just imagine how the rest of us feel. Our miles drop long before his do.

    :protest: Exactly.
     
    Lonesome and chralb Thank this.

    Poor John..... not! I've put up with enough of this poop in 38 years that the only thing that keeps me going is the light at the end of the tunnel that keeps getting brighter and brighter, and it's not the train, it's the end. 3 years, 3 months and 8 days. Then I'll put my other license to work, I'll run team with my wife, selling real estate.

    That's a great motivation and would work well for me if in the same tunnel. But just starting to rebuild, I'm seeking ways to duck the next train ... lol

    With any luck in 3 years..Mc chatty will be head recruiter, charlb will be head of operations, and rebel chick will be head of maintenance and dispatch...and J.B. will still be owner and real estate pioneer.

    Owner of what? The biggest headache on earth? I'll do the real estate deal thank you. It worked out very nicely once for me once before. But hey, the other folks you mentioned have my backing......lol
