Bernie201056's blog post - sunny and nice :)

It is saturday 1-15-11..

I am sitting here along the coast highway 101 over looking the ocean.. It is a sunny warm calm day and I have to sit here for my 10 hour break, I could sure think of and have sat in worst places for sure.

I delivered some bales of packaged wood chips to a horse farm this morning in the country near a town called Santa Ynez,Ca. It is about 30 miles north of Santa Barbara,Ca. It was sure a nice ranch with beautiful horses and colts. along with a heard of floppy eared goats..

Goats are so funny to look at and watch. I always liked goats from my earliest child hood back on our farm, where we had over 40 head of milk goats that we sold goats milk and cheese.. Well anyway..

I have to pick up a load out of Proctor and Gamble in Oxnard,Ca this evening going to Las Vegas,Nv for early Monday morning.. It is not much miles but at least it keeps me moving and makeing some money..

Freight has been really slow lately and now that I am out on the road full time I need to make all the money I can to try and keep the mortgage and other bills paid, been real tough, I seem to always manage to squeek by with the smallest of margins and nothing much left in the bank , some days I have to go with out eating just to make ends meet.I am loosing a bunch of weight.LOL.

Oh well what the Hell I have to count my blessings at least I do have a job.. I am more fortunate than a lot of people right now..

I had to cancel my house phones and internet service so I could save that money..

I have been putting off fileing for bankruptcy thought I might beable to get by with out it , however it looks like I will have to file any way, So I found an attorney that will take payments since I cannot seem to save the $2400.00 most want..

Well anyway enough of that.. I just wanted to blog some and get it off my mind..

One thing for sure working for the Orange Army (Schneider National) That is what we call it because our trucks and trailers are all orange.. LOL..

Working for this bunch is a real pain in the you know where, we run under computerized log books and load booking and if you have not ever been driven or had your life run by a computer it treats you like a robot, it has no concideration or thought about the human element.. I does not concider any variables like one has to eat,take a piss or crap break or anything else humans need to do during the day.. Damn slave driver for sure..

I am not sure how much longer I can stand to work here before I either have a heartattack or a total mental breakdown..LOL..

I will go for as long as I can and keep my eyes and ears open for another job or business to get into..

Well I hope everyone is doing well, Thanks for reading my blog.. Bernie
