My worse Christmas

A friend of mine tweeted about truckers missing Christmas. So I thought I'd right about my least favorite Christmas.

There I was, five days before Christmas in Phoenix AZ. About dive hundred miles away from what was home at the time. Santa Maria CA. The company I was working for had me run down to Nogales AZ. for a load of medical supplies going to Sandy UT.

I'm like, "kiss my ass, you know I'm not getting home from the Salt Lake area. But they assured me I'd be home for Christmas ;-)

So after I delivered to Sandy I'm told they didn't have anything to get me home :-o Really now. Who guessed that one.

Then they say "go to Green River WY. and pick up a load to Irvine CA. delivering on December 26th at 6 am :-( So to make a long story short. I spent Christmas at a Pilot truck stop in Hesperia CA. 250 miles from the house, just totally pissed.

Needless to say, I don't work there anymore. But the problem is that most trucking companies are exactly the same. They'll say "without the customer you wouldn't have a job" Sure that's true. But without a driver neither would you, you jackass.
