OK, I know some guys in the political room have been questioning my identity so I figured it was time to come clean. Here's me at a speech I was giving a few years ago. smirk.gif

You know I love ya, Sluggo.

BTW, About a month ago I went through Fayetteville and I wanted to try and track you down and buy you lunch, but I remembered you were in Fla. Maybe next time, eh?

You know how it is as a trucker, you rarely know where you're going until it's time to leave, so i couldn't plan in advance.

Yeah, I remember those days. Which sounds weird comes it's almost like I am reminiscing from 20 years ago when I drove for two different companies for a total of about a year and a half. Usually I didn't make it through here unless I was coming home, they liked to send me everywhere I didn't want to go, like Chicago or Jersey (No offense to you Jersey residents, but Newark stinks, it's one of those odors you can't pin down) Anyhoo, I remember one time, which pretty much ruined me for the trucking business, I had been asking for months to get a load out west, I told them I could care less about going all the way to Cali, but Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, anywhere but the Northeast and Midwest, anyways, I was on my way to Dallas from D.C., and I sent my fleet manager a message asking him to try and find me a load out west since I was already gonna be halfway across the country, he said he would put in the request. Well, the night before when I was in Arkansas stopping for the night I got my next load, to New Jersey, well, I didn't respond to it and the next morn before I left out I sent a msg, it's Saturday so my fleet mgr. wasn't there, and asked them if they found me a load out west, they said no, but that I had a load. I said, well, I asked the day before for a load out west, I've been asking and that somewhere in Northeast Texas there's a load going west, about 30 minutes later I got a load to Loveland, CO, well, I'm happy as can be, pull over at the rest area in Texarkana, TX and tell them I can make the load and when and that I'll be in Dallas before noon, which was earlier than what I originally told them. Long story short, I finish the drop in Dallas, go to the terminal for a trailer, waiting for load info, send msg where's load info, they say, what load? I about blew my top, needless to say I was on the phone with about 3 people for a half hour and still got no definitive answer, other than that the load was given to someone else. They send me a load where I have to go from Fort Worth to Shreveport that night, I pick that up and on the way when I got outta Dallas I call and tell them I want to speak to a Operations Manager, they get him on the phone and (as much as I wanted to scream and cuss) politely explained what was going on , he goes back through the computer and finds that someone went in and changed my arrival times into Dallas 5 times and that the people in charge of the load to CO got nervous, well, lets see, they have satellites that would tell them I was in Texas at the time I was sent the load, and the trip was just over 700 miles over 4 days, I would have had plenty of time. But someone screwed me over, well, he said he was gonna work on something for me when I got done in LA, well, I sitting at the Petro outside Shreveport and get my next load, some paper load from Nowhere, LA to Chicago, yep, I was done after that. In fact, I think after I went home for 4 days and when I was leaving the house I told them it was my last trip. Ahh, the memories. Had some good times out there on the road, but all in all, I just couldn't take the stress and aggravation.

BTW, I live about 4 miles from I-95, unfortunately, there's no truckstop nearby, except for that small one off exit 60 something. I live off exit 52.
