    Still have 32 moar minutes. Which means we'll have main engine start in about 12 minutes.

    Doesn't sound like a team player. It is a team after all.

    Like at the end of orientation when they want everyone to go," I am Schneider."

    I went," I am Dave."

    The writing was on the wall then.

    I'll say this much, Schneider is a totally different company than it was 9 years ago. The vibe is so much better. It's like everyone is going out of their way to make sure you are happy. They even have a 3rd party outfit in Arkansas that calls me every week and asks me if I'm happy.....no joke.
    I'm thinking a lot of trucking companies are starting to get the message.

    All in all, I'm pretty happy.
    I miss OTR terribly, but that should pass.
    The Hazul is very happy and, for me, that's what's most important.
    The money isn't bad, $850 - $1200 to the house.
    Home nearly every day unless something goes wrong.
    But Schneider overall has improved greatly.

    It's 23 here, which is wrong on so many levels.

    7 minutes to go.

    We shall then idle to said fuel island for coffee. Muffin supply has been depleted.

    OM has been fed.

    We were both near starvation and barely clinging to life.

    Some hard working American truck driver will be pleased when he comes in and sees a place available to park.

    Decided to just eat a fruit salad with some wheat toast for breakfast this morning! Had some fake coffee(yuck)!

    Not sure why, but as I was typing this out I thought of this old song!

    Nope, QC/Omnitracs has almost no relationship with Schneider anymore.

    The current problem is with either Oracle based software, or more likely the physical servers themselves.

    The servers are revolting.

    Everyone needs drivers. Companies make a lot of money off a good driver. When the economy turns, it won't be as friendly. Your money sounds pretty good. No headache of worrying about the truck and you clear 4k a month +/-. Is your truck new? Is it a cascadia? Sleeper/ day cab?

    Cascadia sleeper. 650k on the clock, but I'm told I'm next in line for a new one once the Chinese people send us some computer chips. So, I got that going for me. Frankly, I really don't care one way or the other.......I've never driven a new truck, so it's no big deal either way.
