Sunday - morning

Slept in like a baby, it's 8:30 am and I just got out of the shower after getting up. It might not sound like sleeping in to some people but for me? Getting up at 4:00 am or earlier 5 days in the last 7? Working 12 days out of the last 13? 

I get done with the load yesterday and I noticed the load for Monday was gone.  Yayyy!  I don't care, don't dump me with all of this work, get some more drivers and take some of this off of me.  Well they did get another driver but they are fixing to dump one who has every excuse in the book to not come to work. This dude is in his 40's but his work ethic is non-existent.  And of the new drivers, who knows how long they will last? This job definitely isn't for everyone. It's not even for me, it's just the schedule works the best of any job I have been able to find out there. 

Everyone wants you to work 14 hour days.  If I were forced back into that? I would be going into desperation mode with the park.

Anyway, I called dispatch, it was the manager who answered.  Yes, we took that off of you and working on it.  Turns out, the glue plant is shutting down again - I suspect something amiss when they put everything back together after already being shut down 4 day -s and they want us to load out of some place in Mississippi.

There is no way on God's Green Earth that I am driving that old pile of junk clear over to MI and back for loads.  Fortunately, he didn't expect me to.  There is a loaded trailer in Bossier City - about 40 miles from here - he wants me to pick up tomorrow, deliver and then drop it back off there.  That will make for a long day but not near as long as driving to Mississippi lol.

Church in a couple hours, haven't been there in a month. Well, I've been there taking the kids but I haven't sat through a service for I have been working.
