USX drivers...how's your day??

Thats awsome! The stars alligned for ya on that load! Way cool! I'll give updates when I can. Dont have a computer. Only my home computer! So I'll have to save up some cash and get a lap top for the truck in a few weeks! Enjoy your home time and grill a steak for me my friend! Med well. Be safe , God bless and thanks for the killer posts!!

 

I like the seal an empty trick... And the look in the permit box
for a load you like

 

Good luck, but I'm sure you don't need it!

 

I dropped my student off at Irving last night. He got the rest of his 120 on the way up there from Laredo. Then I did laundry and took a nap, then delivered up in Sapulpa, OK. Now I'm sitting here at the J in Tulsa waiting on a load to get me headed home.

I'm also waiting to hear from my student on how he did with the upgrade. I guess they're busy since it's Monday and they have a new crop starting today. He is way ahead of his future co-driver, who only just hit his 75 yesterday I think.

BTW, last week I got 2819 miles plus $140. It was a shorter week because we did a full 34 hr restart. Also, I only got paid for half of that run that was supposed to be a repower but we had to switch back because the other driver didn't have hazmat. I will get the rest of that on next weeks pay. We never really got to do a good team run because they cut the Cali run short to get him to Irving for his upgrade. I vote they up the training period to 150 hours...LOL

 

It definitely pays to be creative in this business.

I always say don't wait for things to happen, make them happen.

 

Vin I'm headed to Irving in the morning for Wednesday class. I was suppose to be there today but had to reschedule due to a family emergency. Are you picking up another student after your home time?

 

Yes. Since I survived my first student I will definitely continue training. I live in Florida so they'll probably get me someone out of Tunnel Hill.

 

Enjoy your home time and hope to see you around soon

 

Well y'all my 34 is almost up and I will be headed out of OKC to MI to the ford plant. First long haul with USX. Pretty excited praying it goes off without a hitch!!!

 

Good luck Froggy and be safe out there!
