Joe & Tow's new trucking adventures/ex GTI thread

I do agree with DD. I think there should be incentives for better drivers. The playing field in trucking needs to be adjusted some. Real opportunities for advancement, other bonuses, stuff like that. Generally if a driver decided to come off the road and dispatch at the same company, he's back at the bottom of the payroll. Trucking is toxic as well. But the problem is, some of the people who get into trucking, well, some can be considered "undesirables". And the companies know that. Hell, go into an orientation at any company and you'll see what I mean. And I can't figure out how a guy who just left one job and going to another is totally broke. Can't figure that out for the life of me.

 

Ok. Im gonna leave here, head to Strasburg, VA and I have 4 stops. 2 in Phoenix,AZ, one in Mira Loma, CA and finals out in Poway, just north of San Diego. If you see me, all 5 fingers please. Lol. Be safe!

 

I should say not leaving till tomorrow. Tow, I'm gonna get me some frybread over at Speedy's this time!

 

Poway is a little burg very near and dear to my heart...

 

Hey guys. Hanging out in Dallas got myself a quick preview after walking into the convention center through the back door.

 

just stay away from South Gate I will be back tuesday for MY load
2 turns to South Gate and back in 16 days with a reset
I hope that qualifies as workin'

 

Lol. Looks like I may be picking up in San Diego and running that to McDonough Georgia. From there to Atlanta and back up to Front Royal, VA. At least I hope that's what I'm doing lol.

 

Bar Scene, Star Wars, nuff said?

 

I am sitting at the Wilco here in Toms Brook Va. So if you are still around Front Royal or Strasburg I waved at you. I have to do my 10 here and head back to Rocky Mount Va. and pick up another load of windows and then head back out to deliver them. One by one I slide them windows off of my trailer and it seems that they never get any easier. I think they breed like rabbits.
