Where do you live? Whos church do ya go to?

How long you been driving a truck? Are you an OTR driver? Do you haul HAZMAT?

Did you know my Daddy drove a truck for over 20 years? Did you know I have a handle?

I live in Booneville, MS (Just a few miles from Yosemite) I go to Bro. Terry Teddlies, First United Pentecostal.
I have been in the transportation industry for the last 30+ years (Driving on and off)
I was a broker for the company I drive for now for 8 years, then went to Nashville, TN for 2 years as an Assistant Mgr for the same company.
I received a much better offer from a company while I was at a conference in Chicago, I accepted, moved to Columbia, S.C. as Director of Operations for Cardinal Moving and Storage, got promoted to General Manager within 6 months and was transferred to Greenville, S.C., worked there for 2 months and had had enough. Went back to Mississippi, went back to work for Morgan Van Lines. I was informed a couple of months ago that the driving job was only temporary, another office was opening in Nashville, TN and they wanted me to move there and take over that branch.

I can come to NC about anytime I want (I still go there and visit my friends on occasion)

I do go all over the US, and I guess me and Bro Dad are around the same age? There, I think I answered all the questions?

My Daddy drove for Redwing before they were bought out by A.P.C, and then he worked for them, after that he worked for Transport south, then Florida Rock, and then he went OTR with Summerford, but that didnt last long cause he didnt like being gone for 2-3 months at a time so he went with PanAmerician, untill he was offered a job with Ball Petrolem (a local job, hauling to Miami twice or three times a week, and all over Florida) and he stayed there till he retired.

He drives a hurse now in Pascagoula MS.

His handle is Giant, and mine is JR Giant. ;) I got to ride with him a few times.

Hmmmm, from a Big truck to a hearse - that was a change! He must be a strong guy to handle that. Did you enjoy the times you got to go with him? I still enjoy driving, but I do believe God has something different in mind, I've been feeling it but I haven't gotten any confirmation yet! Where do you live, if you don't mind my asking and where do you go to church?
Title: Re: Ask a Rattlesnake
Post by: Rattlesnake on September 06, 2008, 07:42:12 PM
One more thing, I have a great friend (He's a Pastor also) in Pascagoula, MS! His name is Bro. Randy Jourdan.
Title: Re: Ask a Rattlesnake
Post by: Rattlesnake on September 06, 2008, 07:44:52 PM
I did take a deep breath on that one Bro.Dad, good advice!

Yeah he loves it! His dream as a kid was to work at the funeral home and do stuff like that...well he finally did it...his second dream was to drive a truck and he did that, so yeah he got his wishes.

I am in Panama City Florida and attend Bro Allen Crabtrees church. My Uncle is a pastor in Pascagoula, Bro Jerry Ramsey. He pastors the church my Grandpa started there. And my cousin pastors in Ocean Springs.

I did enjoy the times I got to go with my Dad...its not the life for me though. But spending time with my Dad was awesome! He was a whole different person on the road.

Post by: Rattlesnake on September 06, 2008, 07:59:08 PM
I have a sister that lives in Tampa, FL and my ex's mother's sister lives in Ocean Springs. Being on the road can definately be a life changing experience and having a family makes it hard. I can easily see where it would make a man different.

Seeing his dreams come to pass is a good thing for anybody! My ex father in law (he has passed on now) built a string of gospel television stations before he passed and I saw him burn the note on a $350, 000 building after only 2 years! WOW!!! He deifnately saw his vision come to pass!!

I am glad we have still have ensamples as to the power of God, and can still see his ability to make our dreams come to pass! God is so awesome!!!

I came to Louisana last night, felt like I was getting sick - woke up this morning and could not hardly breathe (bronchitis), unloaded and then went to the doc. here in Walker, La. Got a shot and some pills, now I am just laying in the truck(in the bunk) resting!!! My brother lives here - he stopped by and saw me for a little bit and then went home to get some rest (he works nights) He will call me again this evening.

Post by: Rattlesnake on October 03, 2008, 02:21:32 AM
Haven't met before today. God has provided this opportunity and I am thankful. One good thing about being a truck driver, is if you're dispatcher will work with you, you can go almost anywhere you want to go. I spend time with both my brothers, one in Baton Rouge, LA and one in Warner Robins, GA. I get to go any time I want.
