One Year Milestone

Thank you!

I agree. I think the next 9 months could be very telling for our industry and beyond. I like the stability of staying where I am. Enjoying the people I work with, all professionals who do their job well, is a big bonus.

Congrats Bill, another MAJOR milestone in the history book. Well done!!!

It sure doesn’t seem like a year. The older we get the faster father time seems too move.

The things you describe are common, we’ve all been there and may even have a t-shirt for it. This industry is very diverese and therefore challenges are also.

I think you made a great case for staying where you are for the foresable future. I was speaking with a friend the other day that had a new driver call him. The new driver wanted advise how to handle a situation where he is only working every other week right now. He is on salary so he was told to sit back, relax and let them pay him for sitting at home. Their call. He said he feels guilty for getting paid and not working.

Right now is probably a good time to hold onto what you have. This year is looking like a good size roller coaster.

New trucks are a blessing and a curse, lol. If it is brand new will probably have issues pop up, plus changing trucks is always a pain. Enjoy it!!!

Hey Sandman,

Thank you. The ones with the cameras are part of a pilot program that I volunteered to run with but all the trucks were already assigned. We only have a fee but the reports from the field are, as I expected, very positive.

I expect my new truck to be new to me, not necessarily new! LOL!

Let me know if you ever need anything. I'm happy to help any way I can. Where are you running? If I don't know, I'll point you jn the right direction, but I'll never wing it. Be safe out there.

Congratulations Bill! That's awesome to hear. I haven't been there nearly as long as you but I'm liking our company as well. I'm curious, is your new truck one of them with cameras for mirrors?

I appreciate that very much. I'm on the OTR fleet but kept mainly in the midwest. I make it out to Dunkirk, NY, and some points in PA sometimes. Hazleton is probably one of my favorite places we go, of the ones I've seen so far. I love the drive across 80.
