    That's good. I still have children and grandchildren in Lawton and will soon have one daughter and her family, including two grandchildren, in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

    If sec would have had benefits i would probably still be there...also the miles went down quite a bit there before i left...

    saying that i am quite happy at big g since making the move...the benefits are great and i am making a lot more money.

    i thought i wouldnt like the northeast but it really isnt all that bad...with all the technology we have today it makes navigation much easier plus we normally are going to industrial parks anyway so its not that bad.

    My Dad died in 2013 and left me a nice little inheritance so I don't have to work full time anymore if I don't want to. Lucky me! I also wanted to deal
    with some minor health issues like a sore right foot and a case of psoriasis that bugs the crap out of me. I figured I better give my foot a break from
    mashing down on the fuel pedal constantly or I would end up limping around with a gimp foot and a cane for the rest of my life. Why not get out of
    the truck for awhile and avoid some winter driving? I plan on returning to work at the end of January or early February at the latest. This company
    has treated me very well as long as I have worked for them. They don't bug me because they realize I know what I am doing and don't need to be
    told how to do my job. They have well maintained late model equipment and a very simple method of operation. The also know me as a person not
    just another unit with a number. They also run me in the areas that I prefer driving in which suits me just fine. The insurance sucks and the pay could
    be better but everything else they offer me makes up for that. Maybe I am crazy but I like driving a truck and as long as they don't turn into one of
    those Mega carriers or get bought out by one I will probably continue to work here until I retire.

    Warm bunk, warm blankets, nice mattress, and good meds. At times, that's the best kind of sleep.
