When did a ...

week become 5 days, instead of 7!

Geesh, was reading some BS a driver posted about a company on another forum, and he made the statement, " a week is 5 days, not 7".

This moron was griping that he was having to work on the weekends. Duh, OTR = lots of time on the road!

Anyway, can someone send me a copy of the official bulletin changing a week to 5 days instead of 7! It may come in useful someday!

Ugghhhhh!

A week for me IS 5 days. Well, sort of.

I get home sometime on Friday, which can be anywhere from 6am to midnight. I then leave either late Sunday or sometime on Monday.

Please send me that memo too cause the last time I checked a week was 7 days not 5 days.

He Double L, the real problem, is that us Bulk Tank haulers have not start or end of the week! :wink: It just keeps going, and going, and going!

Ain't that the truth, but atleast the money in tanker yanker is pretty good! :wink:

Yahhh!!

Either drivers are too chicken to pull tankers or they are too lazy to climb up and down a tank or have a fear of heights. I over came my fear of heights the first day when I first got on top of a rail car, it was nerve racking at first but it was fun actually.

I've thought about switching to tankers. The only issue I have is pulling a huge liquid bomb behind me :wink:

I pull dry bulk, cement, lime and flyash, sometimes salt! no bomb there! Also, there are lots of liquid tanker opportunities that are not fuel or explosive related.

At times I'd like to pull food grade then other times I want to pull chemicals. Either way the miles are pretty consistent and pay is good!

Or they make more money doing something else :wink:

If it were me..... I would obtain a CDL first, then worry about food grade or chemical..... Just a thought.....

I thought he wanted to haul steel a minute ago

Does that mean you would not pull a REEFER... Loaded with 6 swinging bottles of NITRO??? Even with the reefer set down to -30 (that's F, not C) The pay for that is good too. I guess that would amount to SIX liquid bombs. Just 6 - 1 quart bottles.

[Malaki86]

I've never even considered pulling a reefer. The few times I do go to grocery warehouses are too many times for me.

I'LL pull a reefer with six piddly bottles of nitro! Heck....fill 'er UP!! I'm fearless! I know that "I" am the ONLY driver that I would trust to pull whatever lethal junk you GOT.... and not spill it! Not saying others aren't safe with it.... just I know what "I" can do! :wink:

Of course, some construction crane could FALL on me and blow us all up, or some FOOL shop mechanic might not "service" the reefer like he IS PAID TO DO and it might fail enroute and kill millions of Twilight's extended family..... but, that is not MY fault!

I only know that "I" will not be the one to make the fatal mistake! We can ONLY be responsible for our OWN actions and dedication to our jobs. If anyone knows a company begging to pay big bucks for a driver with NO FAMILY who will take a risk.... let me know!

Heck..... I'd even drive the dang rig into a LAKE if necessary, to save others' lives at the cost of my own! I'm a FEARLESS man! :wink:

BUT..... I wanna be paid BIG cpm, cuz the miles will probably be low. And, I want my truck to go FAST!! (so I can spend MORE free time on laundry and truckstop video games!)

MY Momma didn't raise no fool!!! :shock:

[Well.... she DID.... actually..... but THAT would be my BROTHER! ]

Hobo you need your own TV show, better yet HOBO FOR PRESIDENT!
