Default New job starting 3/2/07

Got the official word today -- will be starting with USA Trucking out of Van Buren, AR on the 2nd. That's really hilarious, actually. USA hires me with...um... an impaired driving record, shall we say... and yet I'll be making about $7-800 more than when I was driving for CRE. I'll cry all the way to the bank. 8) Hopefully, I can eliminate my past mistakes and do better here.
I am not going to like the 63 mph, but, it's not THAT much different from 65. Plus those International tractors...well, let's just say that's going to take some getting used to. <: ^x

It's because they can't find anyone else due to the crappy wages they pay.

What about those yellow & white museum pieces that drive, pull, and ride like a donkey on acid?

HA , Some of our equipment is horrible , some of it is almost brand new . I had a volvo with 3k miles on it before , it's just luck of the draw . Roadways city tractors are the worse , they really do look like they came out of a museum .

NO DUI! :shock: I will never drink out on the road. I wait til I get hometime.
3 preventables, 3 tickets, only 2 of which were considered moving vio's.

As for the 13-letter s#!t-spreaders, well, maybe I'll get lucky and get a Columbia. I couldn't even hope for a Volvo.
I'm just hoping for a 13-spd, to be honest. At least it'll make the 63 mph bearable.
