Superior Carriers and Carry Transit

[Skywalker]

He is a great guy and good mentor. I am very fortunate to become his frend at the beginning of my driving career.

Thank you also, for the kind words!! 8) And that was "good news" that you told me the other day!! I am sure that it will turn out to be a good move for you...and we'll be looking forward to you filling in some "blanks" about your new employer!! I'm sure MP will be happy with it also!!!

Hello again to everyone. I hope y'all had a very safe, happy Easter. I'm getting unloaded presently, then starting south for "vacation". Just giving a quick update and cheery greetings to everyone. Hopefully I can meet some of y'all along the way sometime as well. As a matter of fact, it looks as though I'm about to be on my way through Atlanta possibly tomorrow

Warning: Y'all better be very wary of ol' Grandpa (Skywalker). Don't let him con you into buying him lunch or worse, dinner... He eats almost as much as I can! :P :P :P

Worldisnotenough... Congrats on the new gig. Can't wait to hear of your new adventures!

Yeah....and I can still remember the look on the cashier's face when you paid the bill there in Savannah..... 8) She had a hard time believing the two of us ate all of that!!!

Worldisnotenough... Congrats on the new gig. Can't wait to hear of your new adventures!

I'm looking forward to hearing about it as well. I spoke to him the other day...he's out training...I mean "learning how to be a REAL slacker"!!

Speaking of "SLACKERS".....are you or did you have fun down there in Jax?

[Skywalker]

"bump".....

8) You know who.....is into a major "slacking" routine right now.... 8)

I guess he'll get off his duff and show up here again one day.......

[worldisnotenough]

I'm not slacking. I am out with my trainer and don't have access to a puter much. except when at a hotel.

Okay enough already! Hell yeah I was slacking and enjoying every minute of it!!! Spent the better part of two weeks off having a blast with my son, other family, and friends during the break down in Jax. But yes, I'm alive and very well, and just getting back into the swing of work again. I hope everyone else had a great last (almost) three weeks. Presently stopped by the house (Indiana) for the next day on my way to Wisconsin, then back to Westville and into the groove. Guess I'll cut this short and update everything so this is up to speed. Y'all be safe and have fun... :wink:

Just a quick update about the last week. Did get some work done on my truck that added up a little $$$, but nothing I couldn't handle. Back in the groove for a few weeks, and enjoying things as always! Last week was business as usual with three Huntsville loads. Actually taking it easy this week and gonna take a few more days off (er, slack) later in the week. Have some plans that just can't be broken!!!

Thank you! Glad that I could help you out. On the second note, you'll never know if even as a newbie you could get hired on unless you call the terminal manager at the terminal closest to you and ask if you could go ahead and apply or if you must wait until you have experience (Auburn, ME.....800-777-2026). Give them a call, ya never know what may happen. We have several drivers here that contribute to this thread and another in this forum who either had little experience or came right from school and were hired on.

Now if I could just get around to meeting all of ya!!! :wink:

Based on reading your many posts and Skywalker's I have been bugging the Morrow terminal to death trying to get a job
I have just acquired my Class A from a school Superior recommended and I believe there's a reasonable chance that an opening will come up. At least that's what the Terminal Manager suggests. I should know within a week or so. Thanks for all of your posts Cyanide.

:wink: You are very welcome. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease!

Speaking of wheels, I better get rolling again.....I'm done in Huntsville and on my way back to Indiana now. Go drop this dirty tank, then get home and take off 'til at least Tuesday morning. I have a very important date I simply cannot miss, or Baby Bullseye will have my azz in a sling!!!

Congrats on getting your CDL.

Thanks BHG! Now I need to put it to use. I'll be speaking to Rusty on Monday and hopefully visiting him later in the week. He's trying to find an empty seat for me.

I hope all is still going well for you.
