    So did you guys have a ball with the launch? Gosh, that would have been amazing to see. History in the making. : )[/QUOTE]

    An absolutely amazing day. We are having a low country boil this evening and just hanging with friends.

    Dog gone! I am still trying to get the hang of this forum. That was your low country boil, not mine. LOL. Don't hold my poor blogging skills against me. : )
    Well, off to a friend's house for dinner. I'll check back in tomorrow. Stay safe on those wet roads!

    I am really upset today. I am in New York state and dropped my trailer this morning at 5 a.m. it is now 4:15 in the afternoon and I am still waiting for dispatch to get me a load. This is really getting me thinking, am I the only one who does not get the miles? I am a lease/purchase driver and I have driven for other companies for over 10 years...this is frustrating and I need some advice about how to handle US Express...Please tell me what you think? That is how my day is going....

    Wow I just read this whole thing , must say it was a joy too. Hope that you'll keep it coming love hearing people talk about the good things a company does and not just all the bad stuff. The day to day life of all you usx driver is so cool to read on my downtime. Been at the TA in Seville, Oh for 3 days now waiting for load. Maybe its time to move on. Good luck to all of you and by safe out there

    Have had a fun, but slightly crazy day. Sean actually ended up back here last night looking for an MT, then got sent to Atlanta this morning for an MT.....haven't heard from her since about noon, so hopefully she got one.

    Got a truck and trailer to do Road Tests with this morning, did one trip, then the truck had "Service" problems....2nd truck had no keys....6 trucks later we finally find one that would run.....then there were no MT's so we ended up with a loaded one for the next 2 trips.......had 6 testors and 36 Orientees today......tomorrow we will have 3 testers and about 50 Orientees.

    I will get back on the road Tuesday and hopefully get loads that head me towards home for the weekend.....then next week I'll be back here for a new student.
