    Just watched a swift truck hit a big fat yellow concrete barrier protecting a light pole cuz he tried to spin around it too close too fast here at the pilot in West Memphis.

    If it's the same Cliff as my old DM, he quit last April.

    Now my deadhead is 1005 miles. They changed it this afternoon. Dropping this empty at our Colton drop yard tomorrow. I asked if they’ll have a load for me tomorrow or should I continue this deadhead into Mexico.

    Like every other major announcement here, it winds up disappearing in a matter of weeks. It’s like when I get that phone call from a new DM introducing himself and trying to sell me on his idea about how he’s going to be the best DM ever, at the end of the conversation, I let them know I’m not putting their contact info in my phone, I have a special note book that I enter the info in, in pencil. After 13 DM’s, it takes up less space in my book.
