Quick Note on Company Hiring

I had a couple questions come in about the company I work for and their current hiring status. They are still hiring, but not en masse. From what they have told us, they are only hiring experienced drivers and are really looking more for owner operators (aka independent contractors) or so it seems. They are not currently hiring any inexperienced drivers, which I believe falls at 6 months or less OTR experience equals inexperienced.

If you are an experienced driver, looking into this company as a serious career move, let me know and I can direct you to a recruiter that can answer any of your questions.

I heard they are not even training new drivers off the street, is there any truth to that? We should thank our lucky stars we got in when we did or else what would we be writing about now!?!?

You didn't happen to be on 287 in NY this past week did you? I could have swore I saw you heading in the other direction! I even started to sweat thinking how precariously close I came to having to buy 'someone' dinner! o:)

Jason: Yes, you have heard correct. For the time being they are not hiring inexperienced drivers to train to their liking like they did when I got hired over a year and a half ago. They claim it is only tempoary until the economy picks back up and there is more freight to go around.

....and no I wasn't on the 287 anytime recently... thank GAWD. haha But everytime I see one of your 'trucks' I crane my neck to see if it's ur name on the side! haha

Did you know there is a Jerry Springer that works for ya'll? He's funny!

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome"

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Mmm...Jello

I just finished a sugar free Cherry Gel snack ( I can't call it Jell-O since it's officially a generic brand that I bought). It was yummy. Not nearly as yummy as the foods I spoiled myself with the last few days. Night one, sushi. It was damn good sushi shared with good company, whom I know let me off really cheap on my cost of the meal. It was fantastic and I was surprised at how well sushi went with light beer. Go figure. Night two, Mongolian. O M G I could eat Mongolian every freaking day for the rest of my life and never tire. It's the bestest. Primarily because you make it how you want it. If you've never been to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant then you're truly missing out. In a traditional Mongolian BBQ you approach a long bar that is filled with chilled or frozen meats, veggies, and other nummy-nums that you place into a bowl (or two). As much or as little as you like! Then you approach a second long bar that houses large containers of just about every
