  1. I may have one lined up if my former company gets into hauling grain. It's just a matter of getting my CDL is all. It's seems like everyone in the dump truck business wants experience. I didn't expect the company I was with to get into hauling grain so it'll work out in my favor but then again nothing is finalized yet they are just talking about it.

  2. Since mom didn't get back as much as I thought she would it leaves me bummed out and upset. Have you ever went through life wanting to accomplish one task and it turns out to be like pulling teeth. It costs $3695 but I can't get financing since I'm not 21 but that would cost an extra $2 grand...Screw that. I'll have half the money but I have way too much pride in myself to ask someone for a "hand out" and besides that my mom would tell me not to ask anyone for it either but I guess a man has to do what a man has to do. At least I'm not asking for a hand out and then gonna sit on my butt and be a professional couch potato.

  3. They changed the withholding formula this year, so that people got to keep more of their paychecks each week....the upside to that is that people aren't giving the government as large of an interest-free loan, but many who have grown accustomed to getting a refund may even have to pay out. Personally, I wish they would just do away with the withholding altogether so that EVERYONE had to write a check to the various government entities for the entire amount of their taxes due each year....

    I agree!

  4. Good luck on the possible job.

    School will teach you "theory". Its a different game when you deal with "reality"

  5. Where you bin? We missed your um- insight on many matters. Yeah thats it.

    Whats going on with driving school?

    Hows the weather? here we got a cold front coming thru today. Might hit 49 tonite.

    :lookingforheaters:

    I been around.

    As far as driving school goes I'm waiting to see what mom gets back on her taxes to see if I'll have enough to go. I may even have a driving job where I was working at for co-op in high school. They just opened a new ethanol plant in Granite City and even though the company hauls petroleum products they may get a couple grain trailers and if that is the case I may be able to drive truck hauling grain for them. The best part is they will work around my school schedule. Again that is if they get into hauling grain. I'm not getting my hopes up though.

    The weather is somewhat chilly.

  6. OK...something to make you smile
