i got back to lethbridge last saturday from my short run to idaho falls,due to my truck being way over due for a service.i dropped it in the yard,with a list of a few jobs that needed doing.i stayed in the lodge,and met some of the new drivers.we all had a good chat,i told them not to listen to all the bullshit and lies,and to make their own minds up.unfortunately,one of the guys,john,decided he was going home.we all tried our best to talk him round,but he had made his mind up.
i went round to jojo`s,when i knocked on the door,tina and jo answered with"weve got a dilema".it turned out that jo had locked her keys in the car.terrific.tina,being a cockney girl,brought a coat hanger and was trying to get in.jo said to tina that if she got in,she was going to snog her,i replied,wait till i got my phone out.haha.we all had a real good laugh,eventually,i had a go,and with some jiggling about i got the door opened.
anyway,i got my truck back thursday afternoon,(other jobs not been done,must have been to busy.)and got a load to iowa.it didnt deliver till monday.so a nice easy run down.nothing happened really to write about,apart from getting the confirmation of my ladies flight at xmas.really looking forward to seeing her again.we are going to spend it with some special friends.its going to be great.
so,ive just tipped at the customers.im now waiting for my next load

Hi Andy intresting blog im comeing over in december totaly understand the comment on bullsjit and lies and understand where you are coming from but could you give a brief explanation on johns concerns to not even make it to his own truck
ReplyDeletethanks Tony
Lies and bullshit?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can afford to sit in a hotel for 5 days whilst they half fix your truck, then accept a piddling 4 day run for a job which could be done in a day and a half.
A man with a family might not want that kind of earning!
I know that there are other companies pulling H&R trailers whilst the H&R drivers are sitting unpaid in the yards.
The company stinks.
