So many trips...so little time

As many of you know, i have my CDL and am currently driving the sports teams for EAC. Well, last semester i could barely get a trip...maybe once a month if i was lucky. I kept in contact with the athletic secretary saying "if you have anyone back out of a trip, please call me." And she did...and she did...and she did. Before i knew it, the driver with all the seniority (the guy who signed up for every trip he could) started backing out on about 3/4 of his trips. That didn't sit too well with the coaches or the athletic secretary. She was having to panic to find a driver for the teams and i was the first person she called. I treat the teams well, i get them to where they need to be on time, drop them off in the front, basically a glorified taxi driver. Coaches are requesting me to drive them now and because of that, i will be driving about 2 days a week. i know it doesn't sound like much, but each trip is about 300 miles (i get paid by the mile by the way). For spring break i will drive the tennis team to Silver City, and then to California! Next weekend, i'm dring the softball team to WACO texas. You do the math...

Hey! I know I don't comment a lot, but I always read your blog. That is VERY exciting news! But is it ever scary driving such a huge bus?

that's so awesome. I'm sure 300 miles is a great drive. Good for you!
