    Pretty busy week on my end, left out Sunday evening and dumped some fertilizer up in Washington GA, took the tour of Atlanta on Monday as I traveled up to the hills to load marble rock, delivered that Tuesday at the earlier mentioned nightmare of a customer. Tuesday was a short day, loaded sand to go south for Wednesday, unloaded that and reloaded shell around fort Myers to go back to central Florida, dropped that ran up to jax and reloaded granite for the same customer. This morning found me with a load of limerock up to NE Florida, near GA, reloaded fertilizer and brought that down to the beach then finally headed home. Where ya been @Arctic_fox and how’s your travels been @motocross25 ? IMG_1613.jpeg

    @Trashtrucker1707 Outlaw mentality OMG if I can't umm what's the word.... circumvent ya I like that one. A few things then I am not happy. I would rather stay home than have the excitement that I generate on a daily basis with my personal and professional way of operating, All kidding aside I don't judge anyone for doing the way that works for them...... most of the time. I haven't been using the radio as much simply because I am tired of the stupid people shooting skip on 19. Makes life difficult as you all know. I am thinking HARD about moving to TN as my favorite sister and brother are buying property there,but haven't made any solid moves or enquires.... yet. I would love to be closer to family other than the ones here that are so judgemental.... Anyway life has been keeping me busy too busy really.

    @NightWind My parents are right outside of Nashville in Gallatin and really enjoy it, my sister is in Nashville, she’s big time in the music industry there so her proximity to town is key. I really enjoy TN, to be close to my family is out of my price range though unfortunately. Hope to see you again soon, been really busy running South Florida lately, my boss uses me a lot down here because of where I live, I can cover a lot of ground and still go home at the end of the day so it’s win win for both of us.

    Somehow or another I got suckered into training a new guy this week. That about sums up how my week is going, and I think enough said. I don’t drink, but I might start after this week. Or just skip the booze and go straight to black tar heroin. :happy5:

    I feel you on the training woes @motocross25 the older I get the more I realize I am not personable, with that said it’s usually not fair to the trainee my lack of personality, I’m a nice enough guy but I expect you to listen and treat my truck and trailer with respect, that usually doesn’t happen. The reality of most new hires not staying weighs on me too, more often than not my efforts turn in to a waste of time and they typically quit within 90 days. Best of luck to you, next time you’re in FL the first beer or 10’s on me :)

    Did he misjudge the swing in to the spot? Hate that for you, especially with the potential of affecting the functions of the tailgate, I have a brand new Mac and the barn door pin is already a bear to get in and out, seems like they could machine something a little better for the dual function of the tailgate.

    Someone's playing with your voodoo doll again ... sucks other drivers are so careless out here. Waste of time and money for all parties involved. Luckily didn't look like to much damage on your end?
