Currently running I10 east from LA to El Paso. Anyone near US 395 in California, sorry, no internet along there for me! Next time maybe I'll get warning. This time I was supposed to be heading from west OR to Cheyenne but that got switched at the last minute. But! I will be home until next Wednesday! I got an extra day off! YAY!

I will be having a cookout with burgers, hot dogs and steaks plus all the trimmings, photos will be posted. And beer! Cloud? You're invited.

I will have five or six other drivers from the area over to discuss our collective future and present status with the company. None of us are happy, several are disgruntled. One is losing his house due to low pay and scarce miles.

I have a possible solution. A small company in GA is hiring teams for reefer freight. I have a line on a spot but I need another driver. I want to talk a million-mile driver into coming with me, we've discussed the possibility of teaming before. And I want to quit the cigs too so this may be a good chance.
Just beware my temper! Last time I tried to quit, I was unceremoniously told to start again.

If this works out, my pay will triple, benefits remain the same and I get al the bonuses this company cancelled back. Having to move to the Carolinas, Georgia or Tennessee is a side-benefit, I hate the desert anyway. I'm pushing for Knoxville. Heaven on Earth to me.

I'll let you all know how things work out!
