:D :D "Slacker" is right.... :D :D But the real reason is cuz' Cyanide is still a "cheekin hawler" at heart...and he jus' got to git an' turn all dem mahls!! 8) Whooop, whoooop!!

Getting closer to the end of the first year!

And I like how it has been, to say the least :D. So any of you out there who complain about these journals, diaries, etc. don't read this anymore...I'm not going to stop anytime soon. If you don't want to read consistent info week in, week out about getting paid for everything and not having to turn tons of miles to make a good income, stop here. I have no intention of leaving this company.

I am wondering if I should ask the mods to make my actual "Tanker info" post a sticky, and have this relocated into a separate Superior Carriers/Carry Transit thread (if Baby Bullseye would ever get her butt back online :roll: :lol:). Hmmm...

Just finished another short run here in the GA area a few hours ago, then enjoyed a nice dinner with the "hoser", otherwise known as slacker Grandpa Skywalker, and his lovely wife. Am now taking tomorrow off while waiting for a loaded tank to come in, which I will relay south before taking off most of next week. Anyway, here's what I did last week, which was actually a little better than I thought it would be.

Not a bad meal at that, eh? And she is a "lovely lady", isn't she.... I still wonder how she has put up with me for all the years she has... :shock: :shock: :? 8) But next time we'll have to check out that Steak House...., right?? Who's turn is it to pay next... :? 8) I'm thinking maybe since you're ahead of me income wise about $100.00....it'll be your turn... :P 8)

Cyanide.... I know you've been "slacking" all day.....where is you??? :P

Skywalker wrote:That steak house is very, very good...you'll have to check it out sometime when you can find time with that hectic schedule you keep!

Oh don't even go there about who's paying next time... $72 for the two of us versus what, $35 for the three of us??? You have a little to make up slackazz! Still, I liked the look that woman gave us when I was paying!!! Priceless :shock:!

While you were eating ice cream and then later on, drinking wine (not to mention stirring the pot on other threads :lol:), some of us were being very busy and productive by going to the gym, checking very important required info online, planning how to spend vacation, etc. :roll: :P 8)

Now that Grandpa has been answered... I am sitting in Florida waiting to unload in the morning, then back up to the tank wash, then to the house for the week. As I keep saying, life is good here. Very, very good. Well, I'm going to close this for now and check what's going on in the other threads around the board. Y'all be safe and have a good night :wink:

Well..... I got the bad news today.... I go back out on the 6th!!! But hey, I can't really complain... Lady Skywalker have been having a nice mini-vacation here in the Savannah area.... 8) 8) Lots of good food, ice cream, yep...even some nice wines... some good Cabernet Sauvignon's from Chile.... Life is good all the way around!! And this two room suite in the motel...its right comfortable....with lots of cable tv, and really fast DSL internet connection. Life sure is tough!!

I work for CTL its not a bad place to start out in tankers, but as others said the pay is low. road drivers start a .30 cents a mile and cap out at .36 a mile$. Pretty low in my opinion for pulling hazmat tankers, specially when there is places like superior starting at .40. I havent been here long but so far there is plenty of miles. I just back from being out 2 weeks and had over 6000 miles. I wasnt home 24 hours and they were asking me to go back out.
Its pretty safe to say ill be doing my year and moving on. Any questions just ask.

Ummm, uh, I spoke to the "GPS"...and he's still at home "slacking". I took a nap and now I'm here and he's still goofing off!!


Here's my most important "statistic". I got my settlement sheet for the week ending 7/01/07... and I made $910 and change. And I only worked the 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th. Four days. And my total earnings for the first 6 months of 2007: $26,484.32. SO right now I am on track to break $53K for the year. I've been home at least 40 or more days in the past 6 months. I realize that some guys will make more than I am, but $53K isn't bad for a year....and being home as much as we are. I'm going to have to actually count my days off according to my log book and see how many there were. 8)

Still reading your thread Cyanide. :)
Feel like I know you after all this time, been reading since way back when you began at Indian River I think it was. Great travels you have had. Nice to see you still plugging away brother.
/wave

This sucks!
If I keep having weeks like this, Skywalker's going to pass me :lol:! Anyway, I hope this finds everyone well... James, nice to hear from you again! Not a lot going on here, just the same old bump and grind so to say. Next pay week's stats are going to pretty much suck but, considering I was in from very early Monday afternoon and off til the same time on the 9th I can't complain! Anyway, here's my newest updated stats. Y'all be safe and have fun :wink:...
