Home. Werner fired me because my student tore a door off a trailer when she went to go do some backing practice...:worried:

Oh well...:)

No offense, but I would stay away from ALL those big company shit holes! My father in law tried Werner for about 3 weeks. Said the trainer only took maybe 2 or 3 baths the whole time! You got some irons in the fire?

I know. I'm going to try and find a smaller company. Thanks...:)

From 2001 until 2007, then with Prime 2007 until 2008. Then I went back to Werner this past September.

Prime really screwed over a good friend of mine this past year. :mad:

I just got tired of being self employed. I'd been an owner operator/lease operator since May 2002. I'm tired of truck responsibility. I'd rather drive someone else truck...:)

I should have got in touch with mgtx or Foyt, I think they live in IN. Maybe I could have crashed for a while and watched the race! LOL


Indiana yes, but 120mi away from Louisville. I have farmer friends who'll be going to that show next week. Then in April we all go to a bowling tournament over there. It kicks off the Derby celebration with a great air show and the largest fireworks display in the world, down on the river.

Oh good god, Mark Martin is on Claire's show right now. Hes talking about how to get into the Bud Shootout and how he should have been in it. I couldnt agree more. He said, "I feel ive done more to deserve being in that race than Scott Speed" 1000000% bang on.

Any format that has Scott Speed in it, and not Mark Martin is a complete and utter joke.

Sorry to hear all you guys having trucking-job difficulties. I really feel lucky to have my driving job with UPS. All I have to do is drive and couple trailers at each end of my run. I drive from Charlotte to Atlanta four nights a week. I know, I'm not a "real" truck driver but it's a pretty good living. :eek: I've been with the company almost 38 years and I've been on the road since 1985.

Absolutely correct! What the heck did Scott Speed do to deserve to be in that race?:idunno:
