Thanks for bringing us back on topic geo. Good advice.

So...you'll still be driving!:)

Thanks. There was good, bad and everything in between. They just took new positions on key elements of our business relationship that do not align with mine. Gala, thanks I needed a laugh

Finding a good fit is key. That's one of the reasons I'm looking for a different pasture. I've been with this carrier for 26 years and lately we seem to have different goals, where before we were both aiming at the same target, now it' s as if we're on opposing teams.

That's what the guy getting out of the business 20 years ago was told in the 70's:)

I remember 20+ years ago, being told the same thing. " Don't get in this business, it's not what it used to be"( this business being hauling HHGs) Obviously, I didn't listen and it has been a good career until recently, oh wait, I'm sounding like them!

That seems to be a common theme with veteran drivers, the big IF. Thanks for the input.

That's a tough one. Lots of good book and song titles. Tesla's 'What you give" ,but when my better half calls, the ringtone is " Pride and Joy" SRV

Thanks for the insights

Edited, thanks

OK, so I have been doing my research on expediting, spoke with a few carriers, and read A LOT here. Recruiters will tell you the good,leave out the bad and that can get ugly. Everyone here seems to give honest opinions and have fun while giving said opinions. One question keeps coming to mind...

Good to know. My current carrier requires inspections every 180 days @ $75-100 each time. No age limit here either.

Oh, and if you do not grow a garden for fresh vegetables, you can always support your local farmer's market and home can with their fresh vegetables

There are a lot more low sodium options available now. If you do have to buy can vegetables, you can rinse them first, that will remove some of the excess sodium as well.

Absolutely. Get creative and consider what you eat before and not just regret it after.

It was a little warm driving north in West Texas in the afternoon, but still a nice drive. When I leave Midland,TX tomorrow, it'll be another good trip. Until I hit Dallas.

That was south of Midland, TX. I'll take cactus over traffic any day!

Thanks for the info. Good to know about the ELDs .

Nothing like trucking. Enjoying the scenery!

Thanks for the input zorry. I will continue my research.
