Our loads dried up when that office opened.... strange how I found out that they were agents for Arrow and not employees. I had also heard that they were Landstar Agents. When I asked them in the Ontario office they denied it.
One of the regional drivers told me that he had blocked his ID when he called into the office and said he wanted another sack load coming out of Compton area. The person in the office said sure no problem we have a few ready for tommorrow, When you due in. When the driver ID himself as a Arrow driver the office person started stuttering and placed him on hold. When the line was picked up again he was told there were no loads available and was hung up on. :roll: We think our freight was being given to other drivers.
Im not coaching baseball anymore. I use to coach my son for about 6-7yrs. His freshman year 2yrs ago I and another parent were asked if we could coach the Frosh Team. We said sure since most of the Frosh were our kids that we had coached the year before to a District Cahmpionship for Pony Baseball.
During that season my wife began to work with the Booster Club and I would help out as much as possible. In the Soph yr my wife became the Booster Secratary for that year.
Frosh season came to an end and the other dad and I were told to keep our keys to the baseball field which we did and would come in on weekends to work with kids. At the end of the Soph yr our Varsity coached resigned and moved to Norte Vista-Riverside where he is in 1st place. The school is a higher division school and was a slam dunk for him to move to. At this sametime I was nominated and became the Booster Club Prez.
My term was to run till the end of this May or June (forget which). anyway.... The new Varsity Coach and I started off on the right foot but it went to heck pretty quickly. He was eliminating everything the Booster club had in place. Fund Raisers, Snackbar storage and setup location, our keys were taken and no access allowed to anything.... supplies were moved to a shed where rats/mice would get into, till we placed in a parents home. BBQ's were left outside..... No parents were allowed to do anything at the fields anymore. Mind you... The Boosters had already raised about 45k in funds for the program in 9yrs. The culture was to help. Parents had gotten together in previous years and built brick dugouts, poured cement, purchased and built batting cages.....He killed all that.
He and I had a conversation as to why my son was going to a hitting instructor who was teaching my son to compact his swing and learn to either go with a pitch or pull it. Varsity coach said he hits my way or he doesn't play. The last conversation that I had with him was the reason why my son and the previous prez son were exchanging a note that had the contact info for Lake Elsinore Storms Stadium. I told him the I had had a conversation with the previous President and that he was to send contact info with his son to me via my kid. That the Boosters have had the end of season banquet at the stadium for 6yrs now and I was getting the info togther and would come to him with a list of dates the facilities were available for the players banquet so he could decide the date.
I was told that this was his program and that he would decide if and where a banquet would be held and that he had the right to disolve the Booster club. I agreed with him that he did. He then said great then there wont be a problem then. You are disbanded and I would like to have the Booster money account placed into the ASB account. So about 16k has been moved into the school and our account closed.
Since I am not at home during the games I get regular calls from 2 parents as to how my son is doing or not since he sits the bench along with last years starting shortstop who was honorable mention 2nd team in the region. The coach has a kid who DH's for a few kids who is 4-36 at bats. There is so much turmoil on that team that parents who I would only say hi to were now calling me and venting about the lack of coaching etc.. this year. A couple parents have gotten together and called for a meeting and asked that I please attend this sat, which was yesterday. I had about 10 families get together and they all vented. One had contacted the local sports reporter who was suppose to attend but was unable to. She did call me friday night when I was in Phoenix and asked to have a sit down tommorrow (Monday).
It was an eyeopener as to what I heard what was going on. I thought it was only me and my wife and couple other parents felt this way. The agreement was that all parents want this guy gone. If we have to all face the school board then so be it.
I made sure to say I might not be able to make it since I am now a truck driver. And Im not the Prez anymore.... Kinda nice not being it, since all the stress was pulled away.... or so I thought....
issedoff: with about 11k on it. It goes to a winco that is being built here in town. I'm to deliver mon at 7am.
:hellno::tears: and come back to this location by 7am tommorow. I don't like the idea of driving for free 5hrs but thats life being %. As I'm running east I'm trying to calculate how I'm going to do this.... 
Figured that there's no legal way I can do. QC arrow and say just that...detained at drop 5.25hrs has eaten into the 14hrs and keep trying to figure how to run this, but think it not possible to get back at 7am legally.
