I'm baaaaaack!!!!!!!!

If they are sending you to do recovery work, a shower is ill advised. You will never fit in on the bus, and also won't be able to cover up the smell in the truck from the last driver.

 

Man I gotta be some kinda prima donna supertrucker cuz I've done a LOT of varied truckin jobs but recovery? I'd rather wrassle a greased monkey over a banana

 

Soooo you're saying you suffer from PDST. Let me Google that......

 

Yeah but then your insurance requirements are bitin you in the tuckas again

 

There have been many anecdotal stories of companies claiming that they "have no company trucks available" for new-hires, in an attempt to coerce said new-hires into leasing. I know that you are a very smart man Captain, but don't let a short-term financial bind pressure you into a long-term contract that you are not 100% informed on and committed to. I have no first hand experience with Celedon, but mega carriers, in general, have a well-earned reputation of not being overly concerned with the best interest of their drivers.

 

OK 1.If you "own" the left lane.
2.If your truck has train horns.
3.If your truck has "spinner" wheels
4.If your truck has 8" stacks
5. If you have a 12"' or larger visor
6. If your CB has "echo"
7. If you come into every rest area, truck stop, and stop light "loud & proud"
8. If you have a knife, pistol, or hand grenade as a shift knob.
9. If your fuel tanks have "end caps"
10. If you spend more time on the CB than TTR.

Any combination of 2 or more of these symptoms and you may have PDST
