My trip through town today
Posted On 02/19/2008 16:05:48 by NightWind
Well I finally went to town today. The news said this morning that there were only four families that had to use the shelters last night which is a tribute to everyone that reached out a hand to take a complete stranger in. You never know what kind of town you live in or around until a catastrophe happens. The last one was 10 yrs ago, another Tornado.

I came up I-65 north from Montgomery and got off at exit 179, at first everything looked perfectly normal. Manicured lawns around the... Read More



Wage and Hour, why we need to be paid by the hour
Posted On 02/13/2008 06:21:21 by NightWind
Should we be under the auspices of the Wage and Hour regulations? I think so for several reasons. I came up with the most Q & A I could think of as to what, where and why. I know I haven’t gotten all of them but I think I hit on the main ones.It’s simple really. We are the ONLY industry besides airline pilots that I know of that can be and are fined legally for working overtime! Most companies have to beg employees to work over time, we are required to for no more in pay or benefits. Wh... Read More



Ever have one of those days?

Did you ever have one of those days where it just started out badly and got progressively worse? I bet you have, especially being in the trucking industry. I've been having those kinds of days for weeks now. Frankly they get down right depressing and it seems the harder you try to move on and make things get better the worse they get.

Oh yea the snow is here!

Happy Saturday everyone! I’m so excited that we are getting some snow. I couldn’t hardly sleep last night. Sad huh, well it’s such an event here I can’t help but get excited about it. I might go out later today with my camera and get some pictures. Or  make an Alabama sled out of some card board and slide down the hill.

Please let it snow!
Posted On 01/17/2008 09:22:33 by NightWind
Well hello from the newest dessert state of Alabama. The past three years we've been under drought conditions for sometime now and needed rain in any form desperately! We've been getting some rain finally, maybe that rain dance I did in front of the bathroom stall at Wal-Marts did some good after all!

I got so excited yesterday because it was cold and started raining and what did I see? Sleet yea buddy, bring it on! I'm thinking, please
"Lord bring me some snow!" We haven't had a... Read More
