    Last time I got a good load, I stopped in West Memphis to fuel, and rest. They took the load from me. The other driver didn't even bring me an empty. I never stopped at a terminal after that if I had a decent load. It took me hours to find an empty. I was not happy. Be safe.

    I've had many loads taken from me ti but never needed to take a load from someone else to get home. It's funny how they never take a crap load from you to get someone home though

    Or find a load to get ypu home. I'm in cleveland now but I'm suppised to be home in west memphis. Actually I was supposed to be there last weekend. Ugggg. Then asked me why I was do frustrated... I don't know... maybe hecause I have had to rearrange plans two weekends in a row? Oh we will get you home next weekend since there is no freight over the holiday. Yea and the banks are closed and I really need to get by mine to take care if something important. But then I'm not a tram player. Atleast now I'm not.

    Needless to say the shiny just tarnished. Guess its time to see if I csn find a local gig. Home nightly or at least every weekend

    My repairs this week were handmade by me. You will have to do them over. LOL I am surprised USA bought parts and trusted me to fix 'em. No big deal. But I thought that strange. I am frustrated with the time wasted doing most of this. If everyone fixed a couple trailers themselves the problem would be non-existant.

    While at Vandalia you get to see a collective picture of who we are. Overall, I estimate we are a decent group of people. It's that 10 - 15% that makes what trouble there is. Having taught high skool math a few years I know trouble makers. USA has a few.

    I am being entertained in the midwest and south after homesteading the northeast for weeks. The change is welcomed.

    My FM asked me to stay out to July 3 and she'd give me extra for the holiday. I was to be home this weekend. It sounded like there are not many takers. Maybe I'm a dumbasss. Fixed pay drivers get only two days off. My agreeing affords a disqualification of that rule. I ain't caught 'er lying yet.

    I'm just frustrated. Trying to get some stuff done at home and I'm single. Means nobody there to run my errands. My fm doesn't seem to want to understand that or care this time around. Got mad because I wouldn't give her an answer right then on the buy back and not go home until the fourth. Do I told he I couldn't. I needed home last week but settled for this week. She didn't even get me close. Sent me to Vermont to start tge week. Been getting yanked around in every load since. Tgen she said I could go home for two days when she gets me there and she's buying back two for $200. Said it like I had no choice. I've been out 4weeks I'm taking 4 days. I've got crap to do. To top it off I just found out my aunt died this morning snd yge funeral is monday. I'm not even going to try contact anyone about getting me home for it. Ill just go visit my cousins when I get home. After the past week I can't handle the argument and I'm not begging.
