Hello, I have 31 yrs over the road and I can proudly say accident free. I have owned 5 truks sold the last one 6/2006 all peter's cats.. and Cummins. Spread alxe refer's.

I have also pulled 3 axle walking floor trls. And I've hauled logs. I have hauled steel also.As a O/O I understand the cost of running a truck and try to run every truck as though it was mine.

I performed 90% of the maintenance on my equipment.. tires,rebuilt the engines,run over heads and set Jacob, u- joints, electrical ,so on and so forth. I kept my equipment up.

I am widowed now after 31 yrs. Kids all grown.. no pets!! No boy friend... My mother lives in my home and I am blessed I still have her. With that said I'm seeking a possible run from my area to Tx, maybe Arizona.

I have had enough of California!! My work habits are strong and after all these years I still love it and love the sound of them stacks, they have gotten me a many mile down the road and love swapping up my gears.

I cut my teeth on a set of boxes, not many today would now what to do with a set of boxes. I'm very honest , so ill say that I'm very settled in a old conventional Pete or kw. I'm not a job hopper, would truly love to land something and sink my roots in.

I have just left a small company, and my reason is because he was killing me.. 5300-5500 miles a week 5 day turns to California n back to Florida.

I can handle this no problem, just not every week!! In my humble opinion if a drive sits behind the wheel of the type of equipment he or she is most happy with they will perform at a higher level and apt to stay on board longer.....

So to whom ever this may reach?

Thank you for reading and I pray I can land a job quickly. Thank you and have a great day... Priscilla 850-686-1616

It's not about being that good! It's about dedication! And pride! And your very entitled to your opinion.. thank you. After my wonderful 33 yrs of marriage to a fantastic man lost his mighty fight to cancer my life was stripped and turned upside down! I was left behind to carry on and take care of my family. My reasons for post was to Exspress my knowledge and passion for trucking and I was a leader not a follower, and that being a female was not a weakness in this industry or life. I'm very positive about life and the people in my life, and I have a great Thurst for life and learning everything I can.
I'm a very humbled person and I do not judge people, only God has the power and ability to judge!! I'm definitely sorry you feel intimidated with my words and abilities I've posted to try and locate a new beginning... life and work wise. Your negative input only drives me that mush harder! So again...THANK YOU DEAR ANNUMOUS 😆 , and from the date of my ariginal post I was hired with a fantastic company made a good living and now an owner operator again and building the company back up once again for the 2nd and final chapter of my life. And through all the struggles and negative I've delta with allow me to say... Thank you!! I'm here and I'm not stopping! God bless you and have

I would love to have your old job NEW
by: Brandon Holiis

Hi, my name is Brandon Hollis and I was reading your post. I was wondering, with the company that you did the 5 day turn around trips to California and back to Florida, would you mind telling me the name of that company. See, the reason I ask is because, I live in Pensacola and I love runs from here to California and back. If you could please call or reply back to my post, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Bless your big sweet heart! I admire you and I totally understand your feelings about frkin California...I have lived here all my life and I want freedom!!!!!

My trucker husband has been a trucker here for 25 years.....I am secretly getting us out of here...he said he is afraid he wont find work anywhere other than here...I bought land in AZ 3 years ago and have been setting up shop I should be moved in within next 6 months....

I have looked thoroughly throughout AZ and there are plenty of jobs there!!! PLENTY so he just needs to see what I have done and I will get him a job there if he doesn't want to do the foot work!!

I loved your sharing and I hope you will sit down one day and write a book you have a way with words and I would be the first to buy your book! :)

God Bless you Priscilla and good luck on your job hunting and new chapter in your life! :)
