Well I survived the first week back out on the road..

LOL, as the title says yes I have survived my first week back as a OTR truck driver.
I had a short week, as I left on Monday and returned home just a few hours ago.
But all in all it was pretty uneventful. I loaded Monday and delivered Tuesday in Munster,IN. then reloaded Tuesday and delivered Wed. in Walton,KY.
I then reloaded Wed. and delivered in Chicago,IL Wed. and then I loaded in Libertyville,IL on Thursday and delivered this morning in Florence,KY.

I am loaded...

Why is it when ever we get a good idea someone else has already beaten us to the start post.

All of a sudden I found myself in direct competition with the VLE aimed at secondary schools in the uk (High School equivalent).

I was sat reading over what some of the bigger companies offer and I silently squirmed in my seat, how on earth do I compete with them?

Suddenly the answer came to me, I have come too far to give up now. I have been classified as educational

Who wants to buy our house!

Posted 03-23-2008 at 09:46 PM by Brandon (vBulletinSetup Owner)
Hey guys, if you've noticed that I haven't been as active the last few weeks, you're not going crazy.
Alissa and I have been very happy with our current house which we have lived in for about 4 years. It's time for us to move on up to a house with a paved driveway, a basement and a one or two car garage.
I have some photo's of the work along the way, I'll get them up asap, I need to post them on my family blog as well.

Here is a short rundown of the work we've done....

Insurance stinks big time !!!!

Posted 03-11-2008 at 08:45 PM by RAGENRAT (Insurance stinks big time !!!!)
I need to loose 100LBS. to have a very difficult back surgery where they go through my stomach and my back to complete the surgery.
So they order me to get a LAP BAND
I call to get the appointment set-up and they recommend I call my insurance to make sure its covered. Well you know what they said NO!!!!
My wife calls they tell her we need a letter from my doctor stating the need for this other than sporting a g-string on the beach.
We do that they still say no.WTF ?...

Trucking is a thankless job

Posted 03-09-2008 at 03:59 PM by ARealRedneck (Life as a worn out truck driver)
I have been thanked several times in my years of driving a truck. Let's see if I can remember a few of them.
I was involved in a huge accident on I-77 southbound back in 2004 just south of Wytheville,VA. I came upon the "New River Bridge" and the traffic was stopped because of a accident on the bridge. I got my truck stopped about 20 feet from the accident without hitting anyone or anything. The person driving the little car just in front of me "Thanked me" for not running...
