<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stepanahalf, post: 2076314, member: 66622&quot;]So, work has been really slow.&nbsp; For one thing the two cement trucks were loaded with some junk cement.&nbsp; Apparently they are still sitting waiting for someone who wants to buy the cement.&nbsp; We were supposed to have 18 more trucks but the order is a month behind schedule they said.&nbsp; We have done some equipment moves for Schlumberger but even that mostly has stopped.&nbsp; I was told everything is fine and it will pick up soon.&nbsp; I believe it because I know what is happening in the oil and gas industry in south Texas(eagle ford shale).&nbsp; We are still on salary and get paid regardless so I have peace of mind about that.&nbsp; Basically I am on call 24/6 with one scheduled day off.&nbsp; The new terminal(cement plant) isn&#039;t officially opening in Von Ormy for at least another month either.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It is getting even hotter down here with temps over 100 every day.&nbsp; I&#039;ll be looking forward for a break in this heat.&nbsp; Tropical Storm Don didn&#039;t amount to anything except increasing the humidity for a few days.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of our lead drivers and trainees were send down to Laredo for a week.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t been dispatched in more than a week.&nbsp; Once things get going and we have more drivers(50?) they say we will go to a 5 day schedule with 2 days off.&nbsp; Friday Saturday or Sunday Monday.&nbsp; Also they want to try to have day and night shifts.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll try to keep yall updated if anything changes or it gets busy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
