    Default Your boy gotta helluva a pay raise...

    And a new job to boot. Starting off my 37th season in the game of Life, I have taken on a new job. I am now a real live, rootin'-tootin', breaker one nine squawkin, trucker. I am now working for a trucking company that will have me delivering around the Southeast. My pay? Jumped from about $800/week(bring home) to just shy of $1200/week. I'm excited about this. Plus, no more working in bad weather and shit like that. Later, QD.

    Damn. Sounds like a nice rig. If it's one of those new Volvo's, they're comfortable as hell.

    Good luck on the road.

    Plush riding for the QD!!

    I'm not a big fan of Freightliners though. The one we have as a rollback has been giving us problem ever since we bought it. It's only got 217,xxx miles.

    Well damn. Lolol. Well, on the plus side, breakdowns are extra on the paycheck, lolol. Breakdowns cause delays causing detention and those things add up to time. Time = money. Later, QD.

    I know a little of the trucking industry, and I drive rollbacks for my car lot.

    Anyway, be safe!

    putting differences aside. congrats man. thats pretty good money. i was making 900(bring home) a week at PFG miltons after countless years of busting ass. worst job ever, since i had to unload the truck myself most of the time plus having 15 stops a day totally blows. 4am till whenever i get done with my last stop (usually around 4pm) is not worth 800 dollars a day. hope this job works out for you. iam done with trucking.

    Preciate it. I've been doing the distributor thing for 8 years with Budweiser so I know all the stops and unloading shit. I was gonna call PFG but decided to go with Swift when they called me for the job. No unloading. Unless I want to make extra money. Later, QD.
