    I cannot stand third party stories. Why cannot mr crusty go to the bosses and tell them, where do you want this truck turned in?

    And you tell me that Mr Crusty cannot think about a trip to Texas after almost 40 years of roaming the USA? He's not a little girl fresh from college you know.

    What is his problems to you? Im happy you are helping out with posting for him, but what do you care for the drama in his life? Tell him how to post or type on a computer and then point him to TTR and step out of the way.

    Im not trying to be too difficult, but I have a feeling this is your story, not Mr Crusty. After all, I think Mr Crusty can take care of that little question well enough himself. Almost 40 years and has to wonder what to do with changing jobs... come on REALLY? Seriously?

    HAHAHAHAHA! I believe you have indeed hit the nail on its proverbial head. I hadn't thought of myself as his sounding board, but you do have something there. Even though he is nearly ten years my senior, he does indeed seem to ask my advice...often. My loyalty to him is because he took me under his wing to teach me the job when I first started. I haven't driven truck for 9 months since I went back to school to get my degree, but I really like the old fart so I help him out when I can. He can't even text with a cell phone, so his tech skills are nill. Your arm chair philosphy is blunt and irascible, but it is on point. I think you and I enjoy the same standup comics. I hear Ron White and Jeff Dunham's Walter in your replies. I can just hear you saying "#######!" Thanks for the replies. You have been a hoot! ...and helpful.

    I worked for a company that bragged In orientation how they would fire drivers at the home terminal. This was sad because they would hire ppl from there Ga yard. Then bring them up to PA and fire them after 3 months. And if the driver would turn the trk to the ga terminal to quit they would call it abandonment. It seems they wanted the enjoyment of inconveniencing the driver. But every company is different. I say just stay away from OTR all together and you won't have to worry about things like this buddy is going thru
