Hey, what a blessing, eh? Your truck breaks down and you find the opportunity to save someone's bank account. Jesus would have done the same thing.
You lived like a prophet today!

Yeah nothing else to do. I'm sitting at the lounge and everyone's a new driver so constantly chatting with them and answering their questions.
It will be a massive relief for a lot of those guys to get the chance to talk to you. You know how it is - people come in with all kinds of fears and misperceptions. If you can help clear em up and get their minds and expectations in the right place it will make a world of difference to em.
Looks like ill be in a hotel for a few days sharing the room with a student. At least ill be able to get all the socializing out of me before hitting the road again

Looks like these two busy months have killed my truck. Haha!
I'm at our Fontana terminal. I waited 36 hours for my truck to finally get in the shop. And today the shop manager gave me bad news. It's got to go to the frightliner dealership for 2-3 days.
I got my load to go home today and the repairs weren't going to take too long so I was planning on being home tonight. I haven't been home in 7 weeks now and I'm READY to go home haha. My birthday is on the 6th looks like I probably won't be home.
Welcome to trucking :)
Good news though. I talked to a driver just about to get his first truck and he was going to lease after a month. I convinced him not to and he said I made some good points and he decided he will put it on hold. So I just saved a person from financial diaster! Yaya!!
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
