Newbie.... blah blah blah....yadda yadda yadda

Don't worry about it, Gamgee. I'm a talker on here. Talk alot.

My singing I viewed as a gift. No way I ever thought of myself as a singer. Then, never wanted to sing for anybody. It was too good. Didn't want the attention. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Then thought I might use it. But doing writing. Also write my life story. Not so much about me. But the freedom and relationship with the real Jesus Christ as the Lamb who was slain. He would shock most people. Beaten to where he wasn't recognizable as a man. Awful looking. But with eyes full of love of others. Never ending. Always giving life. To the bitter end. A story to illustrate just how free a person is with Him.

I had a run one time. It was offered the last minute. Had to get it there as fast as I could. Ran hard through the night. Then the next. Found this to help me running late at night... others from Leonard Skynyrd also... keep ya awake...Be bouncing in the drivers seat by the time this is over.... at 3:30 in the morning...

 

Can't believe it. Just got my A1C results... 6.7. I thought it would definitely be higher. I've been eating all kinds of junk lately. Way too much. I expected higher.
I'm talking double chocolate doughnuts, Meatball sandwiches, ice cream. Stuff like that. Yes I suffer when eating that stuff.
Maybe it has to do some with being home so much now? Not so much that it's home. But being out of the truck alot more. More physical activity. Even though I have difficulty. Maybe????

 

I changed jobs. Showing up to do dedicated wallyworld account on Wed.
I definitely feel good about this. Company has wisdom. Looks for the context in PSP points. Has no problem with me. A good sign I won't be dealing with Barney Fife anymore.
This is partly because the day gets broken up with stops. That's what got to me in OTR. I'm rehabilitating my legs. Thinking this will work in well.
The terminal, I'm told, is well equipped for us drivers not living there. Along with getting me home often. Should work out really well.
Really feeling good about this now. More selfish and liking my home. It's because I don't have to worry about making it through winter. No problem covering bills.
Wasn't an easy decision. Loved what I've been doing here out of home town. Working for this O/O has been great. Just the winter money is a problem. Actually wished I was a little better off financially. Maybe wouldn't have left? But this new one does seem really good. In every way.

 

I got stuck in ND. Truck broke. Here at least 5 days. Staying at hotel.
Decided to get a couple things as an excuse for Christmas presents for myself. Actually need them.
A "Tens Unit". It does help. Set it up on my feet. Gets circulation going. It helps. I'll have to explore more with it. Am thinking it can help a lot.
I picked up a pair of Powerblocks. Basically adjustable dumbbells. Been thinking about it for years. They are helping. Helping with circulation and just basic health. Don't get enough exercise driving the truck.
Got a really good pair of Mittens. They were expensive enough. They do work real well.

 

Been two years now.
Been interesting. Learned a bunch.
Got a ton of experience with DOT. Thanks to my first job. Biggest thing I learned to help new drivers. Got this from DOT. DOT don’t like the FMCSA one bit. They’re a brat of a step child. Only interested in pointing the finger at you. Funded by the Megas. They avoid the companies responsibility with violations.
From my experience. I have to agree with DOT. My DAC report is a joke.

This is my fifth job. Too much attitude out there in companies who are working against you. Heed the red flags and get out. You’re not there to sacrifice your license to their company. Too many incompetent people making decisions.

I now have a job that suits me well. Making good money. Could make more. Not interested. Doing dedicated wallyworld account. I drive as far as Denver to Missouri/Iowa. ND to Ok. Delivers to my home town. Get home often.
I’m somewhat limited with companies because of where I live.
