Crete Carrier - A Year In Review - Fall 2013 Going Forward

You seen to forget that's not a choice when you work as a company driver.

 

I thought it felt warm over there.

 

I'm glad he came clean and

yeah, what a thread? Let's do a line the next time we're off a couple days.

I always volunteered. Number one NYC never bothered me. Number two it would get me home as I didn't live far.

 

Sure it is, you can quit! lol
or work somewhere where there's no NYC forced dispatch.

Shaffer never sent me into that garbage but they loved sending me to CT. I'm glad I'll never have to see that Yoplait plant ever again

 

I guess I am just a lonely Nancy boy who has to stay out 4 weeks at a time at a bottom feeder company. (while I am making good money, buying a new property, truck, and enjoying life.)

 

That Yoplait plant aint bad after you go there once.

 

That's like saying having sex with an overweight hairy grandma ain't bad after you do it once!

 

I didn't take this as disrespecting, as for the staying as an employee, it's mostly my age, I plan on retiring in the next 4-5 years and just being an employee works best for me.. Have been my own boss before in other industries, and at this point just want to collect a check every week. I've done 125-128k miles every year I've been here, and am happy with that. I am actually trying to make 130k this year, and an on pace for that. I've had my share of truck issues as well in these years, but still keep reasonably productive.

 

As far as being a company driver...I would rather run 550 miles a day at $.50/hub mile than run 700 miles a day at $.40/practical/HHG mile. Why run harder when you can run smarter.
