[coastie]

Greetings all. Been a long time since I posted here, but Since I have returned from living over seas, and searched for a Job to come off of my Disability with. Well it been said it can not be done without me going back to school. They are not large companies, one a broker doing Power Unit only operation and the other small Trucking Company.

Congratulations and good luck Coastie..been reading some of your posts from "over there" on another forum.

Welcome back home.

Thanks Geomon.

Well I went today and talked to both who had called me. Both wanted me to come to work and at the time only had the fact to decided from who called first. But after time of thinking I made the right choice. The other really was wanting to run on the illegal side, and not a secure job, he was involved with some smoking of a wacky weed.

Little different than PI eh? :P

[coastie]

Yes lots difference but of course I knew that. I was over in the PI just for 10 months.

Well the guy turned out to be full of BS. Always changing story. So No more for waiting on him. But do not worry,which I know your not worrying over me. I have another already lined up. Will see Saturday ow it pans out.

Good luck, making a living is a good thing, and getting harder to do. Just wait how tough it will get if and when we bomb Iran.

Hey coastie,

Got your message, I can't PM on this yet. Don't know if you got my response.

[coastie]

Well if not one problem it another. Out looking again. I knew it was going to be hard, and these were to good to be true. So you know the saying to good to be true, normally not true.

Leaving out Monday Night with a Local company with a load to Florida. The first week I will go out with the owners Son in Law sort of a Training run, and the following week out on my own. I'll start out with driving a Pick up with a 5th wheel Goose neck trailer and once the 10 wheeler is ready (fixing a crane on it) I will be driving it. (be the only driver that is Qualified to drive it)

With this Company I will have to unload at each drop, no problem, kinda fun playing with a Crane, and even load my own loads at the Company.

It is a fun job, and if the receivers are like the ones i served when I drove for Century, it be even funner. Like someone said on here, People do not appreciate the Drivers, with this type of Loads they do. I'll be seeing the same customers, so it does get a driver customer relationship going and friendships starts. Which in the long run with my larger picture it can come out even better for me in getting my own group of customers in the future.

Always thinking and you have to in the Trucking industry.
