Back on the road. Lease purchase with JB Hunt

I know that. I appreciate your encouragement.

 

Wickedfire..my masked defender. Right on right on...oooo did I just date myself there?

 

On guard People net update: People net has stopped bleeping me with those creepy headway things ever since I raised Cain about how much I did not appreciate micro-management. Plus I've learned to anticipate unicorns and by shutting off cruise at once it avoids those neck snapping false stops. Much better.

 

Still issues with starter. I may need new batteries too but I'm pretty sure starter or maybe clutch switch is bad. I'm engaging in risky behavior by not taking into shop yet but all my home time was absorbed with total at home crisis management. Don't get me started on my $4000 mobile home issues....

 

Ugh. One receiver took forever to unload me and then the dominoes began to fall. Sat over 6 hrs at this shipper as a work in and ran out of 14 in the lot.

 

Random gripe session. Browsing these forums I've run across some of the best information anywhere. It feels like I'm with friends and part of the gang. I've also run across some of the same old malcontents you bump into as they laze around the coffee shop wondering why they're getting such low pay.
Thoughts. 1.This is not an easy job. If you want to be a millionaire go build a hotel chain. 2. Respect yourself and what you do. This is an enormously important job. You haul hundreds of thousands of dollars in product every day. And don't forget the value of the equipment you've been entrusted with. If you're a company driver that truck and trailer are their investment. 3. You could kill somebody with this big ol truck. Drive like you care about that. 4. If you spend 3 out of 5 nights in warehouse lots and trainyards ya might not get a shower every day. 5. What's wrong with sweatpants? They're inexpensive, comfortable, and dry quicker in the laundry than jeans.
There. I said it.
