BACK TO WORK

Well, I finally got a call Wednesday (1-14-09) afternoon from my dispatcher assigning me a new truck. Not brand new, it has 16,487 miles on it. My wife will take me to Seagoville, Texas to pick it up, Thursday morning.
I hate new trucks, they are always breaking down, when I cranked up, said new truck, the alternator was out and the batteries were dead. So I have been at the Freightliner shop since Thursday afternoon. The accessories still are not working, the shop says that it is because the batteries are to low so I should idle the truck all night. Well I got out of the shop at about 5 pm and am waiting for a load. I will pick-up here at the Dallas yard it is going to Roberts, La.

I was also selected for a(random computer selected) drug test, which I will get done Saturday morning. I will have no problem with the drug test.

But as you can see IF IT WAS NOT FOR BAD LUCK I WOULD HAVE NO LUCK AT ALL.

GRAPHIC AUDIO

Graphic Audio produces the best quality audio books in the industry, as far as I am concerned.
Each book has its own actors, and these actors become the voice of that character for the entire series. You come to know the character by voice, this adds a new aspect to audio books.

Also the sound effects used are just like what movies use. Shotguns, M-16s, Ak47s, bombs, cars, and everything sounds like it should. The narrator does not say "and then the phone rang"
you hear the phone ring. It really is a MOVIE IN YOUR MIND.

DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME; There are a lot of very good narrators, who do all the parts of the book. Graphic Audio adds a new layer of listening enjoyment to the book.

On a personal note I am still at home waiting on KLLM to assign me a truck.

Just a little recent history

Ok,well I'm still at home waiting to be reassigned a truck. Maybe a little history is in order. On the 18th of December 08, I started to get out of bed and passed out. Approximately 2 hours later this happened again, on the third try I went a lot slower and was able to stand and go about my morning routine. Later that day I went to Russellville Ar. to pick up a load bound for Atlanta, Ga. I had attributed that mornings problem with bad Chinese take out from the night before. Got loaded very late.
At 3:00 am on Thursday the 18,I was finally loaded, I slept until 8:00 am and drove to a rest area 8 miles west of Jackson, Tn. When I started to get out of the truck, I almost passed out again. Then I called 911 and my wife. I also called my dispatcher. The ambulance arrived in about 10 minutes and took me to the hospital. After all day in emergency they still had not determined what had caused the problem. Because of previous heart problems (which were and still are under control) they did those kind of tests first, all showed no problems. Finally on the 22 of December 08, they released me. My son had driven my wife to Jackson, so we came home to East Texas. The final diagnosis
was a simple ear infection, however because of the holidays it took until the 8th of January 09, to get in to see an Ear specialist, in order to get a release to return to work. Which puts me at home waiting on a truck. Zero income is not a good feeling. Therefore I am very anxious
to get back to work.
