    Using language that accurately portrays how truckers feel to protect their freedom and independence is no vice

    Just didn't sound like the typical "first post" on here, lol. Not disagreeing with you necessarily.

    Not lately, but we stopped insulting one another and one of us stopped talking about running people over (and off the road) or talking like a psycho...oh wait...that's insulting...never mind

    There's a Poly thread over in the "Bad" section. I'm sure it'll die off as it mirrored the other thread, whew, mirrored,

    I got caught up on all my must see YouTube videos my data plan wouldn't allow me to watch the last 2 months.
    FREE hotel wifi, and none of the usual 240 or 360 resolution, I felt like a king.

    They got the truck in the shop, so I can stay til checkout time and then I drop about 120 miles away.

    I wonder if I had a pet, where would it stay while I'm in a room? Good thing I don't want or need one

    Experienced drivers mean nothing to crete. Its firmly a training company now.
    New people to the industry or people with a modest amount of experience may love it.

    I had a swift driver ask me the other day how was crete to work for as an experienced driver?
    I asked him how much experience he had?
    He told me '4 months'.

    I told him he would love it at crete, with all of his 'experience'.

    Does your company get any discounts at other businesses like restaurants, hotels, car rentals? If so, have you used them?

    Anyone else stuck on the WM fleet out of Paul's Valley, OK? I got stuck on it as of today....figured it was a good day to turn in my notice, so I did. Looking to start orientation Jan 5th back at Schneider on their Choice program. It should give me everything I'm looking for, and it's not just about money. If it was, I wouldn't do it. But the combination of factors will make it work out best for me.
