Former May Drivers Lounge...

Hey!........where is everyone?
Still cruising a flying W here but moved into a live (walking) floor set up.
Making more money in the live floor and have more opportunities because I can unload anywhere.
It's a bit more work but with better pay and with them giving me weekends off now (I was Tue-Sat.) it's a good deal for me.
So what's new with the rest of you former May flunkies? lol.

 

I'm pulling a conestoga flatbed. Beautiful equipment and good money. I'm enjoying the flatbed world.

 

Back to open deck myself aswell, 2012 Peterbilt 389 with a 48' stepdeck, pulling mostly oversize now, might move to RGN side in a couple months

 

It's good to hear ya'll are doing well, that Pete looks like a nice rig skooter.
I have an older rig,'06 I think it is with 947,000+ miles on it but I don't mind too much with the new gig and having weekends off.
They don't flip the wet kit trucks till they're worn out, I've only seen one new one out of the 75 or so new trucks they've bought in the last year or so and it went to a long time company man.

 

Myself, I went the other way, drivin' a two axle w/28' trlr and occasionally a double here in Central Or.
Money's o.k. but I'm off weekends and home every night. Lot more of the ole slap and tickle, if you know what I mean.

I do have to say I learned a lot from TTR and the May forum in particular. Bunch o' thanks for all that contributed.

Remember, be safe out there. Someone loves you. Don't ask me why...............

 

I get over your way once in a while to haul a load of chips out of LaPine,I went to high school in Bend so Central O is my old stomp'n grounds.

 

Y2k, does the phrase " Poverty with a view" sound familiar?

 

I am 2 months in with new outfit. Lot more cash. Still with not a year experience yet, so I will be looking to trade up again after a year experience. I traded up from may after 6 months. The more experience the better the company.

 

im still here and wondering about those green pastures

 

Ha ha,yup.
I pedaled out of there in 1980 during the Carter era recession and never looked back.
I still have friends and family in the area so I ride the Harley over a few times in the Summer and slum it with the old gang lol.
