Stopped at the Petro in Atlanta........

And this lady trucker is not a happy trucker!  I hauled that empty trailer 530 miles, arriving at 3 PM yesterday in Hanahan.  It wasn't until 5 PM that I was notified that I had a load to pick up at 3 PM today....like that is going to happen!  So I did get to relax and enjoy a few while visiting with a fellow driver and listening to the game. 

Yes, James, you won only because I let you!  You can ask your Aunt Lorene, I had  already picked the Giants before I talked to you :)

I parked right around this little pond at the truck stop and the trucks were so quiet (I think everyone was somewhere watching the game) and I was tickled to just sit outside with Gonja and watch the otters play and listen to the frogs sing.........and a late night visitor:

I had to edit a bit so you could see the frog eater!

It was  a wonderful spot, almost like camping!

I was up and at the client's at 6 AM (I have been here before) and was loaded at 7:30.   I was suppose to take this load all the way to Texas but they decided I needed to drop it 340 miles away.......here, at the terminal.  I had to stop for my one year review............

It wasn't much, fill out some paperwork and that was it!  Talk about a waste of time.  So anyway, I contacted my dispatcher regarding the 3 cent raise promised to me at one year..........drum roll please

I don't qualify for a raise until May!!!!  My year does not start until the day I finished training and driving SOLO!  As we all know it took 14 weeks due to three different trainers!  Not only that, they don't give 3 cent raises as I was promised!  And for my one week paid vacation (they will only allow 5 days), I am still waiting to here back how long I have to wait for that one!

The Prime recruiter got ahold of me today and they want me as a driver.  If they answer all my questions (the crap I have had to deal with here) with a much more positive note, I AM OUT OF HERE!
