Hey....
Tsc?

Think its 56 for first hour or 60 flat.

Then hrly pay @ aroundv1750 it looks like

Really couldn't tell ya the exact pay ethier.

Should know!

But nope.

 

Dropped off raw material at flooring factory. Short dead head over to Lafayette. Missed the turn in the DC. Drat! 20 miles of GA's finest blacktop to get turned around. Got hooked up and tag light is burned out. That's ok, DOT inspection is overdue. Been at Cartersville TA for about3 hours before it gets called into the bay. Not making Jacksonville tonight.

it is with great sadness to let you all know this is my last load. As you may remember the plan was for my wife and I to team. Well, it's not working out that way. I was ready to do this for a few years at team pay rates but I'm afraid it's not for me at solo rates. I gues Joe and I have that in common. Where we differ is, I won't denigrate anyone who chooses to drive OTR for con-way or anyone else. As a matter of fact, my FM and I had a long talk about it. I did enjoy the work and she and I got along great. If I had some crappy loads, she got me something good. Pay was pretty stable and if I asked for something, I got it. Breakdowns suck, but you can't control that. If I was a young, unattached man just starting out, this is a good paycheck with some serious potential. Folks who cry about first year pay earn no sympathy from me.

so, what's next? I don't know. I'm gonna take some time off and finish my commercial pilots license. It wil be good for towing banners down the beach at 10 bucks an hour so just weekend fun that I'll get paid for. Airplane mechanics are always in need. So are Walmart greeters.

Well inspection is almost done, gotta get south of Atlanta tonight! Don't say good bye, I'm sure you haven't heard the last from me yet!

 

Noooo Frank say it aint so! Gonna miss ya dude but you know where to find me. Good luck in the future with whatever you choose...me, I would be towing them banners flying low and checking out the bikini covered bodies!!
