    It turned out to be in my favor. I lost one load cause of it. 800 mile load that would have wasted the rest of the week and weekend, but got a 1000 mile and then a 732 mile run

    Any regrets? Nope I love it all, just wish I was getting better miles all, or had the money to get started with my own authority, but that too shall come to be.

    Well things are looking very very bad. I am very thankful I have my VA disability for that the only reason I will make my truck payment this month. So it time to make a move...

    I tried to move away from using the Company Fuel Card, and cost me all i had saved up and failed to get it back in my pay. But if I did not, I would had a Negative week paycheck. So I still went in the red in reality. It destroyed my gettie up and Go, cause it done gone.
