    I am back home in Tennessee enjoying this fall like weather. I cant figure out
    why so many people are ######## about global warming, I love it myself. I told
    my dispatcher I will need 2 or 3 weeks to wrap up some family business before
    I can return to work. I asked him if they wanted me to clean out my truck so
    they could keep it in service since I would be gone for so long. They asked me
    if I was coming back or not and I told them sure I was coming back. He told
    me no I did not need to turn in my truck, it will be mine when I return to work.
    I have never worked for any company that was like this anywhere. If I ever
    do quit I will fell guilty about it since they are so nice to me. If more of these
    trucking companies started treating their drivers like they had a life outside of
    being chained to a truck they would probably see their driver turnover rate go
    down significantly.
