    I worked for shaffer when they had the load select dispatch, i know you weren't there when they had that but that is what made that company great because drivers could choose their loads some options they sent to you they decided to do away with it because they wanted to control the drivers more

    So..... when can you come back?
    And... Crete can set drivers up to run good national otr loads or short zoned freight, it doesn't take me long to see they got the OHPAOHPAOHPA box checked,
    lately I've been on the longer, productive OTR board, (like the recruiter promised me {LOL}) and I run more miles as when I'm on local freight, hmmm Lincoln wants me to get my miles per month up, from my 8,500 ?? average. Blah blah blah
    How are the eyes?

    This morning I finally found a contractor to do my dirt work, And it's Sunday to boot!! I got home Wednesday morning, and decided to enjoy the day, before calling this guy, but Thursday morning, I read his father in law just died! I reluctrantly left a message Thurs morning, and he got back to me this morning.
    I need a new driveway through a big, wide ditch, a 48 inch culvert to boot. He's like, no problem, piece of cake, Maybe I'll get my big lake built too. :)
    The small city I live in now, really doesn't have a truck parking law, but they just passed a no camper or car trailer on the street law to be in effect on Jan. 1st, or New Years Day, I don't know which and I hate to disturb Siri,,,,. but they might ticket the truck. Women mayors suck.
    So, in about 4 weeks, when he gets done with the big job, I'll take a vacation and do the gravel work myself, heck part of it has to hold a semi, and if the truck sinks, it'll be my fault.

    hmmmm

    I'd get an answer in the morning if they're sending you further west, if not you might want to rent a car for a day during your reset if you get where I'm going.
     
    xlsdraw Thanks this.
