    Whatever I can get for sure. The less time I spend working at the old place the better I'll be mentally. I'm one of those people that once I'm fed up and frustrated enough to leave, then it's time to leave as soon as possible. I don't want to say anything I'll regret later.

    I got a call yesterday, apparently my truck is already fixed and ready to go for today. I'm already wary about what they did to get it done so quickly. I highly doubt anything was inspected, just replaced the hub studs and put a new wheel on. I'll definitely be checking all the wheel nuts throughout today, the paranoia is going to kick in.

    My luck is usually pretty good. But this is a good experience to have happen for me though, keep me tempered about going into this. Not be a push-over, yes-man like I was at the old place. But that'll be hard once they start throwing work at me. I like it and like making money, so if they need me to pull 70 hour weeks, I won't say no.

    The only reason I didn't back out after the experience is because of the stories I've heard from several people who work there about how positive their experiences have been, and how driver-centered the company is. I think this was literally just the third party testing company screwing up.

    I'm more upset that I didn't get to show off what I've learned in the last four years than anything.

    Anybody seen my motivation?

    I left it somewhere, about 2 weeks ago when I last worked.

    Anyway - if you find it, send it (and the rig) to Tulsa tomorrow morning to load.

    Appreciate it.

    I have motivation in plethora, I had 8 large 20oz coffees in the past couple. Days.
    Rebuilding weed wacker motor. Come to find out they don't make the parts for that model unit. Starting to hate sears., Even online the parts are a wing and a prayer.

    I doubt it, I’ll get what I want but it’ll be an emissions tractor. I have to go back to the drawing board on specs.
