    Sorry, he likes being miserable. I tried to help. If you don't want help......

    He’s worked for Landstar before. That may not work either.

    He gets too emotional on everything..if you make life decisions based on emotion, generally things will never go right.. he should really chill and relax and take look at the big picture…

    We have one that hangs out on my thread that's had about 6 or 8 jobs in the last 3 or so years.

    Everytime he starts one, it's going to be the greatest, most ultimate job anywhere. And we're told daily just exactly how great it is, until it isn't.

    Then it's all evil.

    Then cycle starts all over again.

    Is anyone surprised this happened? This guy will never be happy anywhere he goes. The equipment won’t be good enough, not enough miles, freight is slow, shippers/receivers suck, and on and on and on. He’s the the guy at the truckstop lunch counter that constantly complains and is annoying. This forum is his lunch counter. The only reason I follow his threads is to watch the build up and eventual meltdown. I’m sure I’m not the only one. He got fired from Wylie for his attitude and I’m sure his posting on this forum helped them kick his ### out the door. He will be back somewhere else on here eventually. He like the attention he gets on here.

    And all the Snackbar critics like to show up when he’s down… Some of you haven’t posted in months because he’s been doing good. The minute the poor guy gets kicked in the face again you’re right there to lend a boot.
    If you really have been following snack bar, you know he does what he wants to do. Why keep criticizing him… I used to, and then I realized that it ain’t my problem. He’ll figure out what he needs to do. He has all this time.

    Wow you go dude, honestly that’s pretty impressive doing the amount of OD freight you do. I did a whopping 8.400 miles last month, 400 more than our minimum lol. That is one of the good things about trucking, if you can find a decent company to work for and you’re a good worker, you can find a niche and run the way it best fits you. Now I’ll have to come back out next year (I’m off until the 9th of Jan) and run hard for a bit to show I’m not a sight seer, but I love the flexibility.

    I hope your run into the break goes well, maybe slow down just a little LMAO :)
