Ya I had a bad 2 weeks because of him, I get paid a salary but that dont mean I want to sit there because he dont have his s@#t together, when I talk to him he seems like he cant handle it, so I'm going to bring that up too when I talk to my manager, he is based out of OKC,Ok and my office is down in Dallas and he was down there when I started out 2 weeks ago and sure in the h#@l didnt want to meet in person so he sent me on a load before I could come inside, I thought that was odd.

6# A heavy jacket,preferably leather or maybe even vinyl,cloth just retains moisture.
7# Boots.
8# And last but not least,a grain of salt! To take after those conversations with dispatch.

Hope that helps. BOL!

I would add a small package of asprin or advil just in case. And antiacids too. It's better to have it then stop at a gas station and pay a higher price.

I'd also take some mint gum. It is refreshing.

Marten, you got to eat better than canned vienna sausages and crackers buddy. If that's your lunch/dinner make sure to take enough vitamins to last the trip.

Be tactful when discussing the dispatcher fool. You never know what type of relationship that he was with the boss man. It could make things get a bit dicey for you if not handled well.

Glad to see things seem to be turning around for you!

Get Sirius, not XM. You'll enjoy it much more. :wink:

Of course you have too eat better than vienna sausages.That was referenced in case of an emergency or getting snowed in. Sitting on the side of the road for 18 plus hours anything edible is plenty,dont need filet mignon.And I take my vitamins everyday,im not new at this :wink:

have you seen the new mega sized slim jims? man, those are sooooooo good! i consumed an entire tube of slim jims one day. by the time i had gotten to the truck stop to shut down, i felt that familiar stomach rumble, and i barely made it to a stall to drop the payload.

I haven't seen the mega ones no, I will have to keep an eye out for them. I usually get the big box of 100 regular sized ones at the wally world and it will last me a while.

Yeah if you eat too many in one sitting, you may find yourself loosing your load before you get to the porcelain receiver The oils in them things don't make for a pretty unloading at all.
