Hello all.  I know it’s been a while since my last post, but I think we’re coming close to the end of this little saga so there won’t be that many more anyway.  My transfer to the Home Run team went off as planned, starting with a wonderful week at home.  Currently I’m in Texas and looking forward to a week from tomorrow when I’m supposed to be home again.

My new STL (or whatever they are now) seems to be a nice person, however I’ve had no direct contact with her so far this time out.  That’s actually a good thing, ’cause it means there have been no problems that I couldn’t handle myself.

Swapping trucks is a bit of a pain, but I did have all my junk packed in boxes or  bags so getting started the first day wasn’t much of an issue.  I did take a few days to ’settle in’ though.

I have decided to come off the road as soon as my year is up.  I find driving enjoyable, but not so much that it’s worth the time away from home.  There are other issues that I find objectionable, and they helped with this decision, but it’s not worth going into details since basically the OTR lifestyle isn’t for me.

I am a bit surprised that I’m having trouble finding out exactly when Schneider considers my one year contract to be fulfilled.  So far I’ve gotten three different dates that vary from 9/16 to 11/6, and that’s from the office that supposedly does nothing but administer contracts.   This is particularly annoying since I sincerely want to leave on good terms.  Looks like I have a little more digging to do before I’ll know when I can submit my two week notice.

Otherwise things are well with me, and I hope the same goes for all of you.  Until next time…
