    Man I can't sleep.

    So I had a dish of cereal, and gave the cats a handful of treats.

    Big f mistake. Cause now they've both gone into frenzy.

    Seen a good one when I ran out to Starbucks. Crappy picture but traffic started rolling and I didn't want to be playing with my phone. This truck was literally the worst, it looked like something out of maximum overdrive. Bald tires, bad paint, huge visor and big chrome number tho.... The thing that got me was it had a brand new looking flatbed on it, how does that happen? I'm guessing it wasn't his judging by the truck, do companies check to see if a truck is roadworthy before renting trailers? Even then I don't see this guy's spending the money to rent a new trailer and he was hauling shingles which I have heard don't pay anything. My second guess is he leases to someone but nobody would take that truck on right?
    I'm so confused lol...the trailer was easily worth four times what the truck was. IMG_20190808_070406477.jpg

    It could have been something they recently found and are working on it. But yes, it screams I am a level one failure.

    Well...

    STT left me a message.

    He wanted to know my address so he could use me as a reference. I don’t give trainees my address ever. Ya I’m gone 99.9% of the time and my wife and son are there. 95% of my trainees will never hear me utter the city I actually live in and only a small % will go there.

    So what’s the verdict WIIS? Do I let him use me as a reference and give him my addy? I’m trying to be a kinder gentler Otter...my answer is NO f ing way. What do you guys say?
     
    Lepton1, MACK E-6, FlaSwampRat and 4 others Thank this.

    Slept 9 hours last night. First good nights sleep since I got sick.

    Feeling much better. Maybe it’s just that I’m back in California. I always feel better here.
