No more rides for Krissy

I was going to do a road trip with my friend T.J. today. It was going to be all the way down to Milwaukee! But, I got a call last night from him, he was telling his boss, the owner of the trucks that I was going along and I guess the boss laid down the law (In a nice way) He only carries insurance for the driver, not for any passengers. Oops! I guess we were lucky that nothing happened last time!


Oh well, I guess I will have to use my own gas and spend my own money and do my own driving from now on. Bummer. And no, T.J. doesn't like to do road trips on his off days! I wonder if many truck drivers do?

  1. I felt bad that you couldn't go, but it actually worked out that I could leave early today to be with my dad.

    My dad owes you one Krissy. Chocolates???

  4. Actually, that's the rule with many companies. I couldn't hitch a ride to Fairbanks or anywhere else with my former Alaskan based company. It sucked in some ways, but I know if one of the company trucks was going by and I was in a jam, such as an accident or in the ditch, they'd have taken care of me anyways.

    I'm sorry you can't ride along with TJ any more. But didn't it jar your back some?

  5. Depends on where the road trip is. Dave likes it once in a while. But his company is the same with the insurance. No riders. Bummer!

  6. Sorry you couldn't go, but I was thankful that you were able to come into work.

    I don't blame him for not wanting to travel on his days off. Maybe you can do something together around here?
