Oh The Logistics.....


Sometimes the logistics of getting a truck driver home are a freaking joke. There really is never a straight forward answer or way to go about it. 

We spend more time trying to figure out when he will come home ..  how he will get here .. can we afford the empty miles .. the extra fuel .. the time missed driving .. you name it ..sometimes that conversation is days long. Days of figuring out miles and time and does he have enough hours and how will it hit our pay at the end. It's exhausting but it's the life we choose so we deal with it. Doesn't make it any easier but it is what it is and it always seems to work out in the end somehow someway. 

This new company is trying to get Billy home to get all of his stuff so that he will feel better being in the truck. Once he has his pillow and blankets and laptop and clothes and all of his other little necessities it will be much easier for him. Well the only thing they had to offer him was to drive over 400 miles home empty and not paid so we are going to meet in the middle. I will load his stuff up and drive and meet him. We will spend a little bit of time together and maybe go out to eat somewhere and then say our goodbyes until his next home time.

Time To Pick This Up Again

Figured it was time I pick this up again and maybe be more vigilant at it. 

He just changed companies ... Thank God!!! 
Working for  Warren Transport for the last 18 months has left us broke and barely hanging on. I am so happy we finally broke free. 
He is now with National Carriers. It's his first week out on the truck and so we will see how this goes. It is reefer which he hates and he is struggling with the truck because its not as big and as nice as his last condo(he was spoiled). But getting a paycheck is going to be more important than all of those things. 


Back here at home its chaos again. Our oldest daughter and her 2 kids have moved back home so that is both daughters and 4 grandkids back at home. Never a dull moment around here.
