    Just a reminder to Self to Read at page 71.

    Anyway I have a confession to make. Yes I did you notice I said I.

    I screwed up with this load. I didn't pay attention to the dead head and I can not get my load to its destination on time. Due to not having enough hours on my 70.

    Time sure flies when you are having fun. I didn't see this until I was loaded up and seen I only had 15 hours left on the 70 to make it to Denver by Tmrw morning. So I called dispatch first thing in the morning and Said I screwed up, and told him I could make it to Amarillo and to see if he can find a relay and that I needed to get my medical done b4 it expired.

    He called back a few hours later with a Relay. Guy was upset he had to do an ABE and wait until Tmrw night to pick up a load. Now he gets to take my load to Denver. I get to get my Medical card physical and I pick up his load going to Norcross, GA and I get to stop buy the house in OKC. Glad all things worked out for the best. This was very hard for me to do, but I wanted to show folks what taking personal responsibility can do for you. Anyway my 8 hr break is almost up and I got to get up the road. I'll be back in a few if the Good Lord will's I'm backkkkkkkkkkk quiet. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee hawwww

    Just so I understand, if we don't agree with Abe and don't have the same opinion as you we are super truckers?

    Well many of your posts are implying that so yes.Some of the post by other members don't agree with Abe but they were respectful in posting and I even hit thanks to some.

    Guess that's what happens when you work for a living. Maybe when you graduate from super trucker to below average victim trucker, you can get a job at K&B. The two people I know that work there have pretty low expectations. Plus I hear they are on salary pay and they get paid whether they drive or not. They don't even need to use all their hours.

    Must have You Tube channel and a Face book account though.
