So I Start A New Job Tonight..

[Knucklehead]

Hey Kids,

Some of you may remember a while back I was thinking of leaving my easy,yet boring and so so paying job as a yard driver and taking a local driving gig..

Well,I was offered the job(where I needed advise on how to dress for the interview) but I didn't take it.The commute was too far,and the corporate culture seemed a bit oppressive..

I did however,apply for and accepted a position with another outfit about 10 miles from my house.It promises to pay substantially more,but I'm not wild about the hours.I start tonight and my first run with them rolls out at 0300..

I will be driving from Pa,to points in Upstate New York,and Western Mass.-Maryland and an occasional Ohio trip..No sleeping in the truck and I'll be home everyday.Weekends off at the house..Mostly drop and hook,the same customers everyday.Not bad.About as good as it will ever likely get driving a truck.

It's not my dream job of driving a daycab on I-81 (usually easy traffic) from 10 am to 6 pm, but what the hell.I think,once I get used to the shitty hours,It'll be ok.The extra money will be nice too..

[Knucklehead]

Good luck with your new job!

Thanks,I should be OK-I only pick up the skinny pretty ones..

Well it's not a trip by my house... but it'll do.

Hey,we'll always have the bowling alley..

so, should i start looking for you at the 684 rest areas again?

Woohoo

No more sleeping in the truck.

You hear that FPNY,so I don't want you cockblocking me at the pickle parks..

Congrats

You'll get used to the hours. At first it will seem hard but it will get easier.
Just remember to sleep on your off hours so you are not sleep deprived. And be careful out there.

I just finished my first shift..It went ok.Still getting used to this Super 10 transmission in the truck..I'd much rather run a regular 10 speed than a Super 10.Everyone says it's easier,but to me, it's more of a pain in the ass than it's worth.Give me a regular standard transmission anyday..

I only got a little bit of very light sleep last night.I'm still trying to get used to the funky hours.Guess I'll have some fruit salad,take a shower,crank the a.c,pull the curtains and see how it goes trying to sleep in the middle of the day..

Thanks for the well wishes everyone..

Congrats Knuckle it may not be your dream job, but home every night, good pay, no sleeping in the truck and weekends off sounds like it makes up for some of the stuff you're not getting.

Best of luck.

Yeah,that's what I'm thinking too..

Congrats. Just be thankful you have a job.

Ehh, a job ain't nothing but work..

Good luck.

Having the same customers on a regular schedule can make it a cool job.

It won't be as fun as trying to find an unmarked address in Detroit at 3am, but I'll adjust..

Congrats man! Be safe out there!

And watch out for Large Marge at the truck stops.

​

Funny stuff..That ''large marge'' looks damn near anorexic compared to some of the big mammas I've seen chain smoking cheap cigarettes at the truckstops..

You sexy mofo...

Congrats...

I mean, if this is what you want to do....

No Josh.Ideally ,I would be spending my very,very large inheritance on cute guys at a beautiful tropical resort.I'm thinking whipped cream and lots of it..But that's not likely to happen.So till something gives, it looks like it's me an Ole Large Marge...

Don't let her charming ,easy going manner fool you.She very possesive of this sexy mofo...

Does it mean something else when they stop and ask you if you know where French road is, or are they really only looking for directions?
