Just in case.... before you go, I gotta know!! (posted this elsewhere, but it sounds like you're about to run out the door.

Hey, Kahlana! At the risk of divulging my penchant for cartoon porn....

[kahlana]

we arent running out the door.. i jut found out we have to wait until my parent get home to leave cus my mother wants to see her son before he wanders down the road again... siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh... if he wasnt the baby of the family i'd tell her to suck it up... but then again its mom so maybe not

Welcome to trucking...Hurry up and wait.....1st rule in trucking

Trick: when tired of waiting--call or send them a message like: cell phone # is xxxxxx. going to the mall. will be out of truck 1 hr, etc.
Watch the qualcom light up--with something to do suddenly out of the blue-
they can't stand YOU not waiting on pins and needles- the ideal that YOU might find more important things to do with YOUR time drives them crazy.

AirCards:

I recommend AT&T(Cingular)

WiFi:

Siricom will give you the best 'bang for the buck' coverage---available at Pilot, Petro, Loves.


Where's your first run from/to?

...

hate to tell ya this, but this is alot of what truckin is .... dispatch tells you the load is 'hot' ... you push the speed limit because each mile is money ... once you arrive at your delivery the dock sup tells you ... that load can't be unloaded until tomorrow ... Welcome to truckin .. :wink:

This is probably why guys are more prevelant in trucking than women: we're used to this kind of behaviour from years of dating, marrying, and divorcing women.



I could also probably say something about a certain type of woman I often see who is a successful trucker, but that would be hitting below the belt.
