Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

What's wrong with pulling a reefer? I never had an issue with reefer freight and never refused a Shaffer load as a Creten when it was offered. I'll drive any 5 axle semi that pays my bills (other than wiggle wagon since I don't want/have the endorsement). Besides, why limit myself to just .42 cpm. At Magnum, I start at that rate, then every 4 months, that rate goes up for the next 4 months...how high depends on how hard, safe and efficient I run...all the way up to .50...in 4 months...at FCC, I am not sure they even have that high of a pay rate. Thanks, but I am moving to Magnum the middle of next month, without any regrets.

 

Great you found a company SSB...good luck at Magnum

 

Good luck over at Magnum. Sounds like a nice place to work. I will definitely keep an eye on how it's going for you. I might have to make the jump from Poly as well.

 

I think I figured out where that mysterious toll violation that Pat handed me the other day came from. When that loaner truck I took to the motel the day before I was heading to Villa Rica broke down and had to be towed back to the yard, he pulled it by the rear diff, on the toll road. So the stupid photo system saw his truck license plate on the front and saw my trucks plate like it was the back license plate of another vehicle...if they try to make me pay it...I guess they can try in one hand, and crap in the other and see which fills up first. It's bad enough that I lose money every week because their pieces of crap break down, I'll be ###### if I am paying for the toll when it has to be towed. They can kiss my fat, sweaty, pastey white butt...twice.



*update. Gave them back the toll slip and told them it was onnthe hook when it went thru the toll gate. One phone call, and a voicemail...problem solved

 

Well, since this thread has taken a major nosedive in activity, I'll liven it up a bit with some humor.

A masked gunman walked into a crowded convenient store to rob it. As he was reached across the counter to grab the cash out of the register, his mask snagged a display rack and got pulled off. As he was trying to put the mask back over his face, in a panic, he pointed the gun at closest customer and said "you didn't see my face now did you!!!" The customer replied "a little bit"...BANG, he shot him. He pointed the gun at the next customer and said "how 'bout you?" The customer stuttered a bit, but before he could answer, BANG. The gunman turned to the next guy, "did you see me?" and without hesitation, the guy said "no way...........but my wife did"

Now back to our regular programming....

 

I know this one about a robot golf caddy, but this might not be the right place...

 

FYI Formula 1 racing is in Austin this wknd, as if traffic isn't bad enough there.

 

Comfort Suites , 161 to 20 from plant. R/T to westbnd stay with service rd not main line , it's about 5/8 of a mile . With a poly i.d. it's 69 a night. Pool and hot tub I think ...indoor. been there a few times

 

it's just past the clinic we use for drug test and physicals...but they don't have a shuttle like LaQuinta and only room to bobtail in.
