I haven’t read this old school. I will check it out, thanks.

Would love to hear some stories from you guys about how you handled those days that just seem to never end and there’s just curve ball after curve being thrown at you. Days when you just want to throw the towel in, but ultimately you persevere and carry on.

I guess you have to be careful out there on the road, it would be so easy to put on weight if you weren’t being diligent about what you eat and drink. I would choose flatbed more because of the unique challenges it brings. I need a new challenge in my life to bring me back to life! I know some of you on here try to take care of yourselves and stay healthy and that’s beneficial to you and your company you’re working for, maybe in terms of productivity or whatever it may be. That old saying you are what you eat. I truly believe that.

Is there an element of truth in this or am I being naive? I would think having to handle a 100 pound tarp and having to strap it down would give your body a good work out. One of the reasons I like the sound of flatbed. I like to be active. Not to say I don’t like driving, but it would break it up a bit.

Does a sega genesis mini count as a tool you need in your arsenal

Yeah, as soon as you start effing and blinding you might as well give up trying to get anyone to do anything for you. That kinda goes for all jobs not just trucking.

This is one of the main reasons I would like to join McElroy.

I talked to a couple of their drivers that run this dedicated Texas route and they love it, they are home most nights, never missed a weekend off

I head off to orientation for them on the 9th of February. I have asked around and aside from the normal complaints that you will hear from some drivers; there was nothing but really good remarks in regard to this company. I talked to a couple of their drivers that run this dedicated Texas route and they love it, they are home most nights, never missed a weekend off, and they are still averaging 2200-2500 miles weekly. I passed up a couple opportunities with some other companies that would have paid a lot more to have this guaranteed home time. My only wish is that they did the Military apprenticeship like a lot of other companies do.

True that old school! It’s a perfect marriage

Nurses and hospitals will always need truck drivers!

Yeah nursing is a solid career, and pays well. You’re always going to need nurses!

Yeah family does come first. Always.
