It's time to play..WHO'S IN THAT TRUCK?!

[nightcreacher]

Graduated from high school in 1961,then off to college I went.A doctor was the plan,but couldn't transfer schools as grades were to low.
Was in band,on both golf and bowling teams,but after school,and after jumping from job to job,became a horse trainer,taking care of my fathers horse farm,raising and training Tennessee Walking horses,and Morgan horses.
Married in 1970,divorced in 1977,and became a truck driver that year.
Drove company truck for 4 years,then lost my mind and purchased my first truck.
Next on the agenda,move to Phoenix Az,changed trucks,bought refer trailer,and started hauling produce,oh forgot,did get my own authority.
In 1984,found Roberts Express,and the rest is history.
At one time had 3 trucks,sold two of the trucks to the drivers,just one now,and a co driver that will get his U S citizenship Sept of 2010.
You can find The 2 of us in the purple Freightliner Coranado,leased to FDCC somewhere in the lower 48

Actually ,the CLC website say that the Hotel room is provided for a full 24 Hours .

.....but the desk clerks are clueless of this fact. argument always starts at 10:45 and wakes me up. they have all kinds of excuses. gotten to the point i check in. ask if they understand the clc policy. if not i call clc to call the desk after i leave.

Where on the website does it say that? We use our CLC card sometimes, and had heard about this but never was able to find it.

I'm Back

After being laid-off of my last job. I was asked what I planned to do now? I replied jokingly I think I'll become a truck driver. So be careful it seems jokes can come true to.

I don't remember where it is stated that you have 24 hours,but it doesn't matter because no one will honor that.

You would do better to try priceline when you want to get a room,better hotels and always consistantly lower than CLC.

Case in point,we are in a Holiday Inn in south Texas at $35.00 a night.

You could get one of those vinyl wraps for your truck advertising yourself to all the ladies

I used to own a snack food distributorship in the late 80's, sold it, and bought a daycab truck and did the local expedite thing until 91 when I got divorced, bought a new sleeper-equipped truck, signed on with Panther in 95,and been doing it ever since.I love it, even as tough as it is getting at times.The freed om makes all the b.s worthwhile.
