And good news my virtual truckers......we will be moving our little goldfish bowl to a new location! You know I can't tell you where but if you have kept up with my blog and my text messages, you already know.
We will receive a substantial increase in cents per mile and paid down time......and one hell of an increase for a pet deposit but at least it is fully refundable if you have a good dog.......and we know, I have trained the best. I am uncertain at this point about medical except that it is 90 days after hire.....my cost, I forgot to ask. But there is 401K which I won't touch at my age and no passengers are allowed, hence my little extra pay as my truck will have only one sleeper. Besides, who would want to live with me for 3 to 5 weeks in my fishbowl!? They would be CRAZY....
The tricky part is moving my life from one truck to another. The recruiter wanted me to try and get a load to their terminal and be in orientation on a specific date. After thinking about it........NOT! I can't depend on this company to take care of my basic comforts. What is best is doing home time with Mom, having her follow me to Phoenix to return the truck and then rent a car to Salt Lake for orientation. It has been year with no more than 5 days off at one time, all others have been 3 days......I could use a week before I am back behind the wheel again.
I have run hard the past two days and was able to park at 3 PM..........we had a good walk, I made my awesome chicken and rice, and we will be well rested for what ever load they give us in the morning. I requested to be back in Yuma a week early......let's see if they send us to New York!
