If you ever wondered to your self why is all this crap happening to me
and trucking just dont seem to workout,you might consider that you have done something very bad in a past life and cause and effect has returned you to the world of driving as a form of punishment :shock:

Well, I got home. I had to drive 723 miles in a 62mph truck to get 400 miles to Dayton where I needed to be at 4am. You do the math.
I'm trying my damndest to stick with this company til the end of the year (when I'll have a solid two years), but they really don't make it easy sometimes. I think it's an absolute disgrace that a company can't get me home after a week of badgering them and reminding them about my house closing that I needed to be home for. I'm 26 and this is my first home, so essentially, it was the biggest event of my life so far. I'm frustrated... I need to find a local job around Dayton. Thanks for the advice guys...

Crazy, he was out on the road for 28 days as a JB driver yet a buddy of mine who used to drive for JB until about 3 months ago couldn't get out on the road for more than a day or two. He was home for 28 days a month, total opposite. :roll:
