    I can relate I drive 386 a night, Monday thru Friday... That's plenty of practice for my old ###. :wink:

    I haven't even gone into half of their treachery.

    Shows what being loyal gets you.

    I feel ya. Gave a decade of my life to my company and my hard work, sacrifice, and loyalty yielded basically nothing in the long run.

    I'm actually on day shift now. I run 494 miles on an OKC meet. The run cuts at 11am but I'm usually gone setting 0930. It's been sweet so far outside of the trash trucks. The other DOWN SIDE is the run is Tuesday-Saturday. Trust me... Getting up on a Saturday to work is tough.

    Especially when it's mandatory!

    company bought and remodeled or built a new terminal for our Jackson Tn terminal. Moving it 22 miles further west. Open for business in the new spot this past monday. What that means is, the way things have been transpiring in my short time on this meet is they moved the meet location 16 miles further for me. 32 on the day. went from a 485 to 517 run plus whatever haz miles may be involved on occasion.
