Lloyd's Web Journal

Ex- Photographer and now a Truck Driver. Currently I am an Over-The-Road Truck Driver. I originally started driving trucks for a living in 1968.

In-between 1968 and now, I:

Went into the US Air Force in 1970 and got out again in 1974.
Was pretty fair at Chess for much of my young life.
Was briefly a Professional Skydiver.
Went into Professional Photography in 1974.
Have worked as a licensed security agent.
Have been a real estate salesman.
Became a Commodore 64 expert in the 1980s.
Enjoyed sail boats.
Enjoyed mountain life.
Picked up a fair amount of knowledge about computers.
Returned to truck driving in 1997.

I have pulled van trailers, flat-beds, end-dumps, and roll-offs since 1997. Mainly it has been flatbeds. Although I am currently pulling reefers.

Was an Owner/Operator Truck Driver for a few years.
And during the summer of 2006, I drove a straight truck in the Oil Fields.
Have become well rounded....

Here, I usually post my thoughts about the things in my life, when I have time. Usually it will be about trucking, computers, Linux, traveling, Wyoming, and things in the news, or just about anything in my life.

Note: I rarely discuss photography here since the field is changing faster then anyone can keep up with. My old 4x5 view camera is simply out of place....

You are welcome to read anything here.
I hope that you are entertained.

I am probably making a mistake.

Well...
I had a meeting with my current employer today, along with a couple of the dispatchers. I explained that wherever my logbook says I was located at any given time is where I actually was. I keep my logbook legal.

This angered one of the dispatchers, but the company says that they will accommodate me with loads accordingly. I was told that they had come to expect most of the drivers to take shortcuts in their logbooks occasionally. But if I didn't want to, then that was my choice. They would respect that.

So, I got some support from the company. And they are right. Most drivers will take shortcuts in their logbooks. The D.O.T. is surprised when a driver doesn't. But it's just something that I don't like doing.

I also got the feeling that I should watch my back around the one dispatcher. This makes me feel that I am probably making a mistake by staying here, but I will see...

My rule is to keep my logbook legal
Or else change jobs....
