I know this doesn't have anything to do with trucking, but, hey, it's my blog! Heh...
Anyway, it will be on Amazon as soon as I get it finished and I hope you will take a look! It has recipes, but, mainly, it's about my cowgirl exploits in the kitchen. Most of which are funny. Maybe not so much at the time, but, later on, absolutely hilarious....
I'll post here as soon as I get it published and hopefully, you'll take a lookie-loo!!

There Are PLENTY Of Trucking Jobs!!
Just in case my readers didn't know, I quit a trucking job a couple of weeks ago. The reasons were the new manager made the office into a hostile work place.
Now, you might wonder, if I'm out on a truck, how can the office be hostile?? It can. It can when you go into the office and the manager actually uses the words "F*ck", ass, assh*le AND then tries to come around the desk to get physical with my husband. That is how it happens.
So, I was wondering what to do next. I filed for unemployment because my hubby made some decisions not to drive a big rig anymore and I can't tarp a load by myself. If I were 20 years younger, oh, hell yeah, I'd be up on the load wrasslin' that tarp around, but not at my age!!
Anyway, back to the subject.... I put my application online. I didn't know if anyone would be interested in me. Holy moley...are they interested?? Hell, yeah, they are interested!! I've had almost non-stop calls from Covenant to JBS to Panther to Ican'trememberthemall to someone who is a recruiter for several companies. I know, some of those mentioned (and not) aren't the cream of the crop but, if you are looking for a job in the trucking industry, you CAN find a job! They are there!
Depending on your situation, you may have to drop back and take any job to put food on the table, or, if you can afford to, sit back and be picky then negotiate a better job/pay.
There isn't any reason a newbie or seasoned driver can't find a job. One recruiter told me I'd be lucky to find what I wanted. Okaaayyyy.... (she did tick me off with that 'tude) only to find an almost perfect fit for me on my state's employment website. Not too far from my home and home almost every night. I do have to take hubby into consideration. I'm not losing that swell guy for any job!!
I don't know if I'll get the unemployment or not. I tend to be the type to want to do things on my own, not owing anyone (or state) anything.
So, if you really, really want a trucking job, they are there. Put your app online, sit back and see what happens.
That's another thing, to you newbies out there, keep your record clean, don't job-hop and you'll always be in demand!!
Drive safe!!

Everyone stay safe!! Either put chains on your rig or park that baby till later in the day.
Drive safely. It was never my driving that bothered me, it was everyone else out there. If I-70 is shut down, well, you have to stay put. Probably best anyway.

My Other Blogs, Please Read!!
I realized I have never cross posted my other blogs. Maybe they'll be interesting to you, maybe not... If you would take a look, I'd appreciate it.
The first one is http://lostadventuresincooking.blogspot.com. Cooking is not a natural state of affairs for me. I can read a recipe and what it says to you, says something totally different to me. Hence, my cooking boo-boos can be highly entertaining. Not to mention, my tech savvy stuff is very questionable.
The second one is http://lostadventuresingreatdeals.blogspot.com. This one is still in the experimental stages, so, it's kinda like a poor, pitiful doggie you see at the shelter. You just want to take it home and make it all better. Welp, that would be my blog here. I'm working on it, but, as before, since I don't know what I'm doing, well...maybe it's better I don't know what I'm doing, know what I mean??
At any rate, please read and enjoy and pass the links on to your friends and/or enemies.
