    If I calll and ask for a load why do I need to explain why, they give other ppl loads no questions asked.. Called melvin he seemed irritated said he was dealing with customers so I had to talk to chris, I have never meet her but its like talking to someone who is mentally challenged.. I asked for a newark to pembroke. After she said pembroke 5 or 6 times like she dident know what I was talking about I said newark to canada. She's like oh I know,then got snotty and asked why I'm asking for it. I got hometime for the 8th. Ohhh we are trying not to do repowers anymore but since your trying to get home illl give it to you.

    Cant make any money if you take every weekend off, i find that helping out on the weekend usually leads to a good load/loads during the week.

    But now the the Arena Football Leauges season is here, i will be more inclinded to take more weekends off (i am a season ticket holder for tthe Orlando Predators)

Hope im making the right choice. Lol going to be working nights cuz its more chill so see what happens .....i gotta call IRT tomorrow and tell them im quitting lol im sure they wont care......

    You must not do very much idling. I idle the hell out of mine. I refuse to be uncomfortable in my own truck. Especially doing this local stuff. I'm gonna have to start doing a better job with keeping the truck stocked with food. Most of the time that's the only way I get to eat on these local runs.
