    How long were you with swift before you moved into a local job, thats what my master plan consists of but in this business I've learned you have to crawl before you walk

    Hubby had a really nice guy. Private message me and I will try to get you info. Of course there is always Bluebon if he has handed out all of his beads.

    Looking for that info. Hubby is in Texas and heading to New Mexico tomorrow. He was so happy when we talked today because he had a "difficult back" and got it in on the first try. Looks like he may gross over 400 this week so maybe we will step up to hamburgers next week. Lol! I will keep looking for that number. I bet your wife will be thrilled when you can drive and be home every night. Glad though we have the phone and texting while he is out. After New Mexico it is supposed to be Phoenix where he will grab a daycab and take it Laredo. Then it is anybody's guess.

    Week ends tonight. Might get lucky though and get cheese next week. Hubby misses the kids too. We have 4 boys. (2 are out fishing now). I keep telling them though to be tough and they are hoping over the summer to rıde with him. We are hoping for hubby to get a dedicated when he earns it. You have a really good attitude and I think you will do well with this. Best wishes to you.
