<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TexasMike, post: 400992, member: 13898&quot;]Well, things didn&#039;t work out as well for us today as we wanted. We hung out in our hotel rooms till check-out time at noon because dispatch didn&#039;t have anything for us yet. </p><p><br /></p><p>We kept calling every two hours and nothing. However, at 4pm they finally made a decision, we were both getting separate loads, and I was getting my own truck! </p><p><br /></p><p>Little background information here, back on March 28th they fired a driver while he was in Cactus, Texas while waiting for a load. I&#039;m not sure on the whole story why, but apparently he&#039;d been sitting a while waiting and smarted off to someone in management and they&#039;d had enough of his crap so to speak. So he had to clean out his truck and leave it up there at one of our truck wash contract locations. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the Saturday after that Tom and I drove by and saw the truck sitting there and told our driver manager that when we returned from Denver we&#039;d be happy to bring the truck back, either bob-tail or pulling a load to Ft. Worth. Tom had assured them then that I was ready to go out on my own, and they were all for it at the time but they decided to just let it sit. </p><p><br /></p><p>When we came up on Monday and saw that it was still there after ten days we told them since we were in Cactus we&#039;d pull two loads to get it back. Seems this time they took the hint and gave me the truck as my own. Well at least till I could get it back to Ft. Worth. </p><p><br /></p><p>They are still turning me loose once I get back to Ft. Worth on my own, Tom is going his own way. Probably to Denver they haven&#039;t told him yet. </p><p><br /></p><p>So as of tonight when I pickup my load in Cactus, I&#039;m free! Free at last!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, I guess this is the end of my training blog, but never fear! I&#039;ll still be here on the forums, and if you want to keep up with my new driver stories you can check out my blog {PM me if you want the URL, not sure I can post it in a forum post} and of course I&#039;ll be starting a semi-active thread on my new solo experiences with the company.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks to everyone who has been reading my posts.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_25514.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_25514:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
