Thanks Broncrider. I don't often speak with her but I agree she's is nice. Who else in the office is left? My ol truck boss went to Watkins & Shepherd down the street. At one point I almost called Sammons to see what they had as a lease purchase program but then thought better of it.

I edited it.....:thumbsup: I will keep an eye out but have to rememeber not to just jump ship, to much of that and I screw myself. Plans are to still move into Tankers just have to keep my record clean and make time between that rollover and now.

Sorry to see you leave Arrow Paul. But, it was necessary. I might follow your lead. Keep up the posts. Right now Arrow is running me pretty good. 3 loads in 1 week totalling 2800 mi. I also got my safety bonus this week. I meant to call you this week but was pretty busy. Does Hunt have flatbed? Keep us up to date on Hunt and orientation. Call me when you can or I'll call you when you finish orientation. Good luck
On tuesday I called about my safety bonus as well, told them I haven't seen it the last 2 qtrs. Becareful with Arrow, Watch your CDL, don't take a hit. I was really worried about this summer and running the 15 or 10 through the desert. Figure people should start blowing tires soon. I just didn't want to be stuck somewhere waiting for arrow to pay for the tire that should take a few minutes to pay for not 18hrs or more.... My right front was wearing bad on the outside I had told them it was bad and that I needed a front end alignment but told to keep running we'll do it later this load is needed.... I'll post more from when I reach the hotel tonight or after the first day of orientation tomorrow.

I ran out east on the 91fwy at 530pm thursday rush hour traffic. Earlier I had made arrangements with the wife to bring my pickup and meet me on the 60 just before the 10 meets up with it. There we took my ladder and anything else that I didn't need for the trip to Phoenix. About 20 minutes later I was rolling again. Since I only had a lilbit of time remaining I shut down at the Coachella TA. My offload appointment was to be at 7am tommorow. Another QC not going to make 7am appointment have already spoken to consignee come in anytime no appointment needed.
I think you leaving is a good decision, I personally wouldn't have waited this long. Good luck at JB. Funny you should say orientation is in South gate, that is where I was born and raised for half my life. Out of curiosity, where are they located over there? Oh, and I am happy to hear the aliens didn't abduct you!

Has anyone noticed.....
Maybe me....??? seems like I'm seeing more hispanics running flatbed. Was wondering if this has anything to do with the ports requiring TWIC cards and they aren't able to pass???? Ummm.... and I'm half mexican too so not a racial thing either..... geeezzz...

All flatbed companies are the same. It just depends on what color truck you prefer.
Only thing I ever heard Melton drivers complain about was the home time. And the color of the trucks. |
