Did you walk into a tree? trying to imagine where the stick came from????

They usually run a blower in front of the asphalt machine to clear the last bit of debris off the surface. Probably came from there.

Scratched pretty bad. Said I was lucky it didnt tear my cornea back open from where I had Lasik a few years back. Put a clear medical contact in to protect it. I have to go back again tomorrow. Still cant really see out of it and I cant drive.

As long as John has one eye that works he can watch that pocket companion and pretty much manage from anywhere!!!

We mark the layover days on a small calendar and on a spreadsheet I keep for our loads and reconciling settlements. Have never seen any lag or delay. I am consistently impressed by the accuracy and timeliness of settlements compared to our last carrier. It used to take, literally, hours to go through a weekly settlement to figure out wtf they were doing. Now, at Load 1, it takes 30 minutes max.

The accounting dept is pretty good here.

OVM said you can't drive when you don't have an injured eye......just sayin!!!

In the past two yrs I've only had one settlement that didn't get paid to me and they took care of it right away. The accounting department here does a really good job. Much better than other carriers I've been at. I won't name, names but there initials are Nations Express.

another bit of GREAT news for John while he is in the waiting room.....Social Security informed me I have to work 4 years more not the 2 years I was expecting (rule change) 4 more years with Load 1.......hehehehehehe

Well, a good way to look at it is this:

If you continue to lose weight at the rate you are going, before the 4 years is up, you could possibly wither away to nothing, and, POOF ! You'll be gone anyhow!....lol....
