Taking another swing at it

I find if I am in Chicago, Columbus, OH or in between, I can get a reefer/van load going home. But getting there is cheap freight and finding the load to get that area takes a minute but, I can get it done.

 

Do you have your settings set to prohibit PM's? I live an hour or so from Holland (south of Grand Rapids) so I'm on a quest of finding a "good" company that actually hires drivers from this area.

 

Done......

 

I was born in Marlette, MI and raised in Reed City, MI up until 3rd grade. Moved a bunch as dad was a truck driver and ended back in Reed City, MI when I was in 8th grade. Left MI when I was 19 and headed south, to TX Ended back in MI about 2 years later. Lived in Newaygo, MI for 3/4 years and left again. Now, after all these years, I am moving back due to family issues and reconnecting with old friend. I will be living in the Howard City, MI area next spring. My wife has family from the Holland area, have you been there a while?

 

Not long. I relocated here 8 years ago, taking my final federal promotion from Alaska, because at the time, Michigan had no tax on federal pensions. That changed the year I retired during the first Snyder administration. Now my pension is taxed, my property taxes have gone up, and I own a house I'll probably never be able to sell. I am stuck here.

Sometimes, life just sucks.

 

Getting stuck is synonymous w Michigan, isn't it? In fact, Michigan is Huron Indian for "stuck in heap big hole."
