life of a truck driver

hi


[Comments] [Send Article] [Improper]

Been a day or two, so I thought I would put a few words in to reassure VM that I would always come back like a bad penny.

Since I got my own authority I have not been running as hard as I did before hand. Yet somehow I am bringing a little bit more money home. You know that old saying "work smarter not harder", I didn't disqualify it totally but now I know that it is actually true. Someone asked me the other day if I would consider expanding by letting other drivers lease their trucks to my company, at first I laughed hard at that thought thinking it was an idea that was completely out of place. But who knows? If I can make a little money out of that situation and get to stay home a little more it would be great. I am not in love with the idea of putting up with more hardheads like VM and I but I know how hardheads operate so I can tell them to sit down and quieten down because I know when they are getting out of hand.

Heck, I am getting near to retirement and here I am thinking of spending more time working. I am hoping that old dogs can learn new tricks and yes I am definitely an old dog. Maybe I will offer VM a job as a dispatcher just to make sure he doesn't go off the deep end. If he's good I may even offer him a driving job. Whoa, I didn't say that, did I? Just a joke, VM, calm down.

Vaya con Dios, mis amigos. hasta luego.

No, I'm not heardheaded, if you were my boss I'd say "YES SIR" and get what needed to be done DONE! Thats the way I operate..I just drive myself crazy because I am a perfectionist and operate like clockwork when given a task by my boss..I get things done..Thats why my boss likes me..Its just stressful to make a plan and have a monkey wrench thrown in and have to re-arrange things..I can do it..Its just that after time things like that can wear you down to a nub mental energy wise..Until you just don't care anymore..VM-out!
