    Got back to the terminal at 8am, went inside dispatch wasnt in yet. So i figured i'd see if i could get my Driver Evaluation done....tim was gone again lol. But luckily Vern was there and he did it for me and gave me another accident kit.

    I talked to matt for a little bit.

    Then i got my load.."I have a load, the driver that was suposed to take it was shut down on medical last night....it delivers in Liverpool, NY at 06:30 tomorrow morning, can you do it?"

    "700+miles sure no problem!"

    Then grabbed up this OLD trailer :biggrin_25511: spring ride my poor back lol


    Then ran as hard as i could here to liverpool, NY. I'm now sitting at the reciever, with 4 other trucks......2 of which are other W/S trucks hahaha


    I also got a weekend load, picks up in Watkins Glen tomorrow night :biggrin_25511: #### broker load, then goes to fort Mill, SC for monday. Im going to see if i can repower it since i have to be back in conover on wen for hometime.




    LONG DAY i'm tired lol

    ALMOST forgot! i keep doing that


    I got offered yet another job last night (not the first time for this job BUT the first time that it might be a possiblity)

    My best freind Matt since Kinderguarden dad ownes a Boat moving company, and him and my freind matt want to hire me to run back and forth from MA to FL. $3000 WEEK! (not sure if thats gross or net) It will also be in a Peterbilt Day Cab (they'll pay for a hotel every night)



    Sounds great Money wise, Im assumeing no benifits but for that kinda money i can buy my own. BUT i think the bigger issue is i'd have to move back to MA.....:biggrin_25511: Not to keen on that


    That makes 3 offers + the FB devision here at W/S.......To many decisions!!!! My head hurts... lol



    Maybe i'll be lazy and keep doing what im doing lol

    AT

    Sounds like a good offer AT but some questions: is this job seasonal since the NE runs in the winter may not be as much? Are there hotels on the routes you would be running for example if you have an oversized load? What about running around NYC? Why don't you want to move back to MA? The money sounds good but..........but......
    what are your other offers?

    At least you can keep your options open with the offers and it's nice you get those offers as it shows that people are paying attention to you!!!
