    I am waiting on a load period with the Step Deck. No matter what I will need to get back to Atlanta and drop this trailer back where I got it from. If I can get onto a Tyson Account that will be super also.

    After sitting in Sweet Water TX since Friday morning, I moved at last. I moved to the TA east of Dallas with better hopes of a load.

    But Thank God I keep my truck maintained. A WSE driver pulled out in front of me as I was only width of a truck away from him as he did. He was such a hurry to move up closer to the door of the T/S where he back back into another spot. Running at little over Ideal speed, and good brakes only reason his cab did not get knocked off the frame. As you know many do come through a T/S little to fast, it was his lucky day I do not.

    Also on a positive note, I will be moving to a different agency within Greatwide Cheetah and be swapping my Step for a Dry Van.

    It can be tough getting out of Texas. I'm not even going to post how far I drove from Ft Worth a few weeks ago to get a load.

    Hey Dieselgypsy How would a man go about getting a job running trucks in Iraq. Have thought about it many times and never acted on it.

    Finially out of Texas. Am I thrilled? No not really but I feel this way due to depresssion I guess. What I was paid for the previous week is very depressing. Average 0.28 per mile. I did much better with USA TRUCK and did not have to work as hard dealing with the loads.
