Your luck is changing Jride and it sounds like it is about time!!

 

I agree with Jess jride. Its about time you start getting calls. Hope all goes well as you determine to let no one ruin your new life.

Hows your day going KH?????

 

Good jess, got home from school and found out my summer school schedule. Looks like macro economics or american national government m-th for 6 weeks. Also, I plan on taking 12 credit hours fall semester to bring it up to 45 credit hours. after that we shall see.

for trucking, I plan on getting my permit in mid july. im hoping by the time i graduate college the economy will be better.

been sitting here all day waiting on a load nothing coming out of atlanta was what i was told. maybe i need to give my old boss a CALL cause thery are opening up my old place of work again if im going to sit around i might as well be able to come home everynight. this trucking thing is really srtarting to suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Awwwwwwww hang in there!! you only have like 10 months to fulfill your contract

 

Well, after all of the advice I got, I desided to call Central today, and I asked for Russ (thanks Jess) and he could not find my app. anywhere, so he faxed me a full application, and told me to look it over and get it back to him. He didn't really seem to mind my 10 year desk job. Right after I got off the phone with him, a friend of mine called. A driver where he works as a mechanic is leaving. It is a huge greenhouse business, and I met with the owner, and he said he would like to bring me on for the busy season which is April - June, he said that would give me some class A driving exp. therefore I could avoid going back to a local school for a refresher...which is what I was going to do anyway. $16.00 an hour and 60 hours a week, and over time after 40. Seem more than most are getting OTR, and I would be home every night. LOL on my way home from that interview, I followed a nice black KW pulling a Central trailer.(Made me want more than a day cab):smt007 So I guess Im gonna fax back the app. to Russ, and take this local gig. I figure that it will be around June til I would head to Central anyway. I just hope miles are a little better til summer gets here. My wife is tickled pink too, for some reason she thinks she will miss me when I go OTR. After being off work for 2.5 months, hell I am starting to get on my own nerves LMAO. Sorry for the rant, but I had to tell someone. lol

 

Lets us know how you like your local Gig!! Most of us would love our Hubby to have a local gig and be home every night.

 

Did your power ever come back on Newtruckerwidow are 1bad ?
Friend of mine said his was out all day yesterday and till 8 am this morning

 

Yes our power came back on. We were w/out it for about 4 hours I guess it was. Some around here still have none. Lots of trees down in our area.

1bad is on the move again. Heading to FL hope he doesn't have to sit to long to get a load back out of there.
