Coming to orientation Aug 13th...

grrr... it wont let me go back and clean up that post ;-/

Eh, I complain, but only when its worth it. And 98% of the time, it aint worth it. Besides, 99% of the time the company bends over backwards to accommodate driver "needs". (not necessarily "wants")
I can't reasonably expect them to be perfect every time, sometimes the ball gets dropped.
Besides getting a phone call from safety to congratulate me on a perfect Montana inspection kinda raised my spirits a bit. lol.
In other news, hanging out at home this weekend after busting my butt all week to get home by friday... and somehow ended up arriving a day early. So.. im getting an extra day with the family (Thanks JC).
Got a TON of paperwork to fill out in my quest to buy my own truck, and a dentist appointment. goody.

Ok. June I ran with my 15 year old niece all month, and July I had my 15 year old son. Now, I get to pick up my other niece (17yr) and run through the end of August. So....I ran 10 months alone, then had a deluge of company for the summer. Lol. To be honest, I was kinda dreading it, but..... Now I know I'm going to miss the company when school season rolls around again. Thank you to those at terminals who helped me provide entertainment to my OVERLY active 15yr niece when we were broken down in June.. lol. I think she tried to kill me with her over activeness. .
My son mostly slept through breakdowns and 34hrs. He kinda reminded me of a cat. Self reliant, slept alot, randomly woke me up in the middle of the night when hungry, ect...

Now to start another month with a teenage female... Ah heck....what did I do to deserve this??? lol.

::shrug:: as for miles, ended the month at 10,300 due to the last 1.5 weeks of perfect scheduling/dispatching. So... current plans have me sticking with W/S when my new truck is acquired.

 

::::sigh::::: sitting at the loves in cheyenne wy.......wake up, do my pre-trip, and find someone has cut 3 feet of hose, and the blue glad hand off my tractor. wonderfull way to start the day. im just hoping thats all they did to my truck. i have gone over it with a fine tooth comb, and dont see anything else...
of course it figures that im delivering to a place with appointment windows of 30 minutes........ so, i aint gonna make it.
now just sitting and waiting for a repair truck.

 

side note. sorry for miss spelling, lack of capitalization, ect....its a pain to post from my tablet.

 

hmmmmm........ this just got more interesting. turns out the other air line was sliced as well..........and.......whoever did it.......left a volvo key.......marked 2070........that fits my truck, stuck into the grating on the step by the air lines.......
::::shrug:::::: nice.. safety said this is the second set of airlines cut in the last week....
so, keep an eye out for vandalism.

 

i havent tied my doors in the past, but will be now. and all of my keys have been volvo stamped. both my 2 original, and my newly arrived one.
