So I picked a load up from GA to MD. About 180 miles I am guessing to Philly. So it looks like I should make Christmas no problem. The load is a light one of machines made of sheet metal. tons of time on it as i sit here 4 days later and only 660 miles. But at least I am headed for time off. Most people say I handle stress fairly well and I would agree for the most part, but I think I just react in different ways to it. Nothing is more stressful to me than being in this truck and not making the money I know I can. I feel like I am wasting my time and wasting away. Then because I am stressed I get to thinking and end up causing more stress for myself. It is stupid I know, but it is a reality. So hopefully this little break will do me some good. Although what I really need is to get back to Buffalo for a few days. But that will come soon. I was planing to visit a friend in Cleavland in January but I think I will put that off to go home. Today, although I have been sitting around waiting to get unloaded I feel pretty good. Sat around and talked with a few other drivers at the dock here. And if anyone has experienced such a thing knows that's good for a few laughs, grimaces and points of utter stupidity that make the day go by. I will also like to inform that I did set up a Yahoo messenger account because of the many requests from my loyal readers. I will like to thank BOTH of you for the suggestion. So you can get a hold of me on that thing also wooze1212.
