Question about my training

Yay! You made it! We knew you would.

 

Local driving is a lot harder than OTR. If you can make it local, you can easily make it OTR.

 

Frickin A right!

I tell our OTR drivers I am home nightly. They say, "Really? I want your job!"

Then I tell them I drive Chicago traffic 12 hours a day and before I can finish they say, "Never mind!"

Many times more stressful than 8 hours rollin' along a boring highway.

I was off on Monday, and part of Tuesday. When I went to work it was Tuesday noon after the flooding and after the closing of freeways.

I didn't have too much trouble, I had three short deliveries and return one truck to a dealer - I put in a full 14 hours of work.

Wednesday I spent more time in traffic than I did actually doing anything else. I put in a 14 hour day. I spent two hours going 4 miles.

Today I spent time dealing with idiots who thought we were still flooded. More time in traffic, more time waiting for people to make up their minds and the hassle of having to deal with stop and go traffic.

While I was going home tonight, back to a flooded basement, a car that is stuck in the ditch and my wife who I have to have help me throw more stuff out tonight from the basement, I really wish I was back doing my OTR work.

 

So you could not be home to help with the flooding? Making your wife do it all?

That aint me.
