    The last trip out was not very good. Just 2 stops i sat a total of 22.5 hours.I made 150.00 for all that time spent waiting at the dock. On top of that the short runs at the end were bad. All that ends now. Im now an offical ex gordon driver. At home now after I turned in my truck at the indy yard. 2 Of the FM,s asked if there was anything they could do to make me stay and told me I could come back If I wanted. Ahhh no thanks...

    Start my new job on Monday....

    Is there anyone left from the TTR crew there now? I don't think so. Well, except for the guy I know of that creeps the forum but won't sign up or post as to "not ruffles any feathers", lol. He stopped talking to me because I quit. Apparently he took it as a personal affront to him that I left GTI. Oh well. Greyhound, welcome to the happy club of ex-GTI/Heartland (GordLand Trucking Express Inc, with a Heart (GO BLUE!)) drivers. I can't wait to read about your new adventures.

    Does HOAT still enjoy working for Heartland/GTI? I know that he used to talk about how great it was over there and that everyone should not have left.
