I feel for ya JB. But as close to retirement as you are you would be better off to stay put and deal with the bs. Another mega will suck worse for starting over. You won’t get the miles or the time off that you have now. Just my two cents. This is what happens to all the good carriers that allow themselves to be absorbed by the big sucky mega’s.

You are spot on. This will work itself out.

Sitting at the WM yard waiting on a load to arrive to drag it to Stuart’s Draft Va for tomorrow. Let me explain to anyone that wants to hear about what I’ve been through the last 6 months, hopefully when I’m done, people will understand why I’m not in a happy place. Just like what I wrote back in January that got me dragged into the office with a sit down with the head cheese, this too is going to be an honest account of what I have been going through, and what I see...

So who didn't see this coming when said parent company took the reigns? So many great companies have been "ruined" when a mega takes over. Sure, at first they say "nothing's going to change", but after a certain amount of time, it's just bound to happen.

It would be fun to see the look on your face at your first day of orientation with the rest of the mirror foggers in the class! Lol

Steve, if this circus stays like this another year, that is doable for me. Hopefully they’ll let me finish here.

I checked my medical card earlier, it renews in March. It will be my last renewal. Hopefully this one will be a 1 year card.

Time to get this day started. Dropping this load about 5pm then the yard about 7:30 to start my second reset since leaving the house a week ago today. Truck will have exactly 50K on it and will be getting its first servicing. My wife, in the only way a wife can, told me this morning that my attitude will dictate the day I will have. She’s right. Today, Abilene doesn’t exist. It’s all about me and my mental well being. Be safe everyone!!

I’m wondering if they’ll share the wealth?
