Default "I Ain't Never"

I never realized how gard it is to find a decent driver.
I have had 10 calls this morning and when I ask them how long can you stay out....they all say 2 to 3 DAYS!!!!

What is this....Trucking...or grade school?

I said 3 weeks, once you're out there the time goes by pretty fast.

i20 If you let me use that truck I would stay out forever. That is a cracking piece of machinery. How come they don't have stuff like that in the good old UK. Apart from the fact that it probably woldn't fit on some of the roads.

Well I'm just to the point of maybe having to go back on the road now....I don't want to, but I will if I can't find a good driver.

The time I stay out depends.

If I'm alone (no riders), 1 week. That's long enough for me to be seperated from my family.

If my wife is with me, I'd stay out forever ;-)

Are you really sure about that??? You're not going to make any more money in three weeks that you haven't in one or two...

Default 2 Weeks!

:twisted: For my situation, two weeks is perfect, because I can get home to see my little one's, and that's good for me.
You see, I never really new my Dad, and I'm going to make sure my kids now ME. :twisted:
