    Well it wasn't a perfect first day, bit I survived. Six hours at my pick up burned up a lot of my 14 and had to shut down an hour away from my delivery.

    Same here Larry, I was lost in space when I heard my name called on the radio.


    Welcome back Steve, if you have any questions call me.



    It's a small outfit that has a knack of knowing everyone by their first name. The shop? It's probably like every other trucking companies shop. Could be better. We are paid every Friday, I've been paid via direct deposit the almost 4 years I've been here. Most of the trucks have APU's. welcome aboard. Any questions ask away.

    I'll be happy to answer any question you might have, If you have nothing to do and want some boring reading about my 1,2 and 3 year anniversary here at Calex that should answer alot of your questions, go to page #63 post #627, page #193 post #1921 and page #356 post #3557. These are what I call my report cards on the company over the last 3.5 years.

    Sitting in Wilmington NC waiting for my first drop to open at midnight. I got here later than normal because I had a front steer tire lose about 35 lbs of air over night last night. I went back to the yard after putting my load on to get it replaced. What they did was replace the valve stem. I get here and check the tire because it's pulling to the right and feels real soft and I see I'm down about 20lbs of air. In the morning I will be at the Petro in Florence getting a new steer tire put on. There's some things I'll put up with, a steer tire loosing this much air in 10 hours is not one of them.

    I'm loading lettuce again on Saturday in Belle Glade for a Monday delivery in Jersey. Still having major payroll issues. Not exactly happy about that either. With my back still bothering me and the fact that I have my dedicated run that I take very seriously, I'm about this close to telling everyone in Pittston I'll miss a week just so I can get over this back issue and get my pay straightened out. I don't know what bothers me the most, my back or payroll.

    The stress from payroll is not helping your back any.
