    I'm glad I left. Got some time in and even being that I didn't do so hot with Prime after training and getting on my own I was treated a hell of a lot better than at FFE. Just waiting on my daughter to be born which will be any day now then after we get her home I'm off to find me a job in the oil patch. Maybe long hours and hard work but it pay's well and home most of the time.

    A guy named Ray in safety, try and steer clear. He tends to be an ### hole even when it isn't your fault. And head of safety, Chad, that dude is some kind of strange.

    Well ive been rolling with them for a few days with nothing exciting to report. Trying to figure out this reefer thing and get used to being on the road again. Only complaint is the fuel routing they are so strict about.

    Slow ### trucks to boot. Don't fuel your tractor at the yard. They will chew you a new one. You'll see O/O's and lease guy's doing it though but they say that fuel is more expensive. If needing fuel leaving the yard more than likely you will have to hit the Pilot down the road on I-20.

    there's a reason he is ex-trooper. that sob doesn't know the FMCSA well enough to wipe his #$$ with it.

    yea just a few more weeks and I am out of it man, but have an offer if I wanted with an outlaw outfit to haul cattle if I change my mind.
