Well, I decided to do some house cleaning here. Removed and edited some posts because there are some things just not worth talking about.

It's been 6-7 weeks now since I bought the truck. One major repair is getting done next week - king pins. Took me forever to find a place that'll do the job without raking me on the price. Another driver had his done at this one place, "B" (name hidden for a reason *lol*). They charged him $1300. Now, I need the same exact job done plus one new steer tire. They told me $1850. WTF?!?!?!

So I called Freightliner...... *ugh* $1000. That's better than the other place, but jeesh.....

Told old boss about it and he said to call Joe. So I did. It's gonna cost me about $700-800. YAY ME!

Other than that, life as an owner operator is going swell.

My b/b is not really a whiner. He's so gonna kick my butt when he sees that, but oh well. *hehe*  If I wasn't such a dork, and didn't have a knack for freezing up at the most inopportune times, he might have an idea of how I feel or what I'm thinking.

Can someone please shoot the cat that keeps holding my tongue?

I'm scared...this week has gone GREAT! Usually it's monday is a bitch, tuesday I'm banging my head on the steering wheel, and by the end of the week it's all I can do to keep from screaming.

Left for Ohio on sunday, was first to unload monday morning, was reloaded and headed to Chicago by noon. Tuesday morning I'm empty by 7:30am, reloaded before noon and heading back to Iowa. Now, I'm sitting here waiting to get empty again. I probably won't be unloaded till around noon, but jeesh this week has been good.

Scares me though...

I mean, hell... where's the shoe and when is it gonna drop? *lol* Me? have a good week?  The sky is gonna fall in, I just know it.....

What is it about guys that make them think telling a woman that she has a nice butt is a compliment? Ok, ok... if my b/f says it, then it's a compliment - some guy I don't know at a brickyard, it's not a compliment.

Dude this morning tells me that I'm very pretty. I say thank you and finish waiting to get empty. He comes back and tells me that he wants to give me another compliment...then says I have a nice butt. WTH? I mean really....

Translated that means while I was untying the load the idiot stared at my butt and probably made comments to his friends. FINE. Guys do that.

He got a little bent out of shape when I asked if he would say that to the girls in the office. He said no, he works with them. I told him there's no difference with me just because I drive a truck. I am at work, too!

Stupid people suck!

Ah well...time for me to hit the hay I guess. If you get a chance, check out Honey's journal. And Ladybug's is good if you have an Oded Fehr addiction.
