    There was a friend of mine went back about 5 times .
    He used to run 150,000 miles a year, so I guess they were happy to rehire him.

    I talked to a Crete driver in Mt. Vernon who told me he married a mail order bride from the Phillipines, or some Country, and he drives for 9 months then takes off and visits her home for 3 months. He sends in a new application and goes to orientation again every year. He said he would probably do it a couple more times and then just stay there.

    All of the Above. Last time was the Forced NYC. That stands in the way of a 4th go around for me. Those that are comfortable with it are welcome to it. I am not.

    Have orientation set up for Round 2 with another former Carrier. I finally sold my house in Montana in January after 7 yrs of trying. That lightened my financial load.

    If you're waiting for me to come back before you leave...you've got a long wait. I'd rather have someone reach down my throat and pull out my nads, without anesthetic, than EVER set foot on an Acklie property again.

    And a day without @tucker saying something sexist is like a day without sunshine.

    Like I told my 1st ###-sit manager Crete assigned me (after he gave me credit for making him decide to quit) 1 down, 100 to go! I had to call my terminal manager after that comment

    Well I hope all of you cretins and ex-cretins (which I think out number those still there) survived the witch hunt (safety blitz) this year. I ran I-35 from Dallas to Waco to Belton and all of the po-po's were on the other side of the highway! Not really certain Texas is very lock-step with the rest of the nation. We kinda do our own thing.

    Another wasted day, The load info said I had a pickup window of 12 to 15:00 and turned out it was a 9:00 live load, I'm now a work in.
    And it has a delivery window too that I can't make, unless they made up the drop times again
