I have concluded to give these people until Wednesday to either have me in a truck or have a definitive plan shortly thereafter to get one. Actually all 3 of us. If I get no paid days before Wednesday, then definitely I will be moving on. I have to be able to pay my bills, period. Whatever I had that got me ahead will be used up by the end of the month in paying bills and a few Christmas presents.
I really need to hear by the end of tomorrow that they have located trucks for us and when they are going to arrive or that they are sending us out on Tuesday. I'm sure I will not like being out on the road during the Christmas season, but probably going to need to be on the road 6 days a week to try and catch up. However, I don't think it actually works that way. They go out, come back, spend the night at home and then go out again. So I've heard, anyway. Once that trailer is loaded full of that chemical, you have no choice but to start heading towards your destination and no stopping except for mandatory breaks until you get there.
Coming back, a bit more leeway. Your empty so no biggies, excepting if you are getting behind, such as I am, you likely want to get back ASAP and get dispatched out again right away if possible. Perhaps around Christmas time that is easier to do. I've encountered 3 drivers that want more time off. They've been there over 20 years.
But enough of that. I got up, got dressed, went to church this morning. A bit if spiritual influx and the Word certainly won't hurt anything considering what's going on now. I find the church a but odd, tho, that they don't have altar calls or people needing prayer an opportunity to get some at the end of the service. First non-denominational church I've encountered that doesn't do that.
Anyway, I have decided to do nothing today. I was going stir crazy the last several days so I was doing a lot of cleaning up leaves and other small projects that needed to get done. Some major projects will have to wait.
Oh, I had 2 McDonald's McRib sandwiches today. They only come for a limited time every year, I wanted to have a couple - and then that's it, no more lol.
Anyway. It's Sunday afternoon,think I'll take that nap that starts hitting me in the sleepy department around this time, every Sunday.
