Kids will be kids
Back round info
I have 2 sets of twin girls. My oldest set just turned 21 and my younger set are 19. In VA you can get your CDL at 18, but can’t leave the state, no hazmat, and only single trailers. But the schools will not accept people under 21.
My oldest kids got there CDL permit for there 18th birthday like they wanted. I’m sending them to CDL school for there 21st birthday. There doing Friday, Saturday, Sunday classes about 60 miles up the road. They both have assigned trucks that they customized.
My younger kids work the dispatch center and go to collage. The one works Monday through Wednesday and collage the rest of the week. The other one works Thursday through Saturday and collage the beginning of the week.
This morning the oldest kids show up and the one gave me the keys to her pickup so I could give them to our mechanic for some work. They told me they were off to school and will see me after school. I sat down and went back to the morning meeting with my drivers.
About an hour latter I went out to do some chores and saw both of there dump trucks gone. I walked over to the shop to see if they took them but they were no where to be found when I looked over and saw both of there pickups just sitting there. I called my daughter in dispatch and she tells me she sent them to school in there dump trucks so they could get 2 loads of blue stone since they would be right next to that quarry. We can’t get good blue stone locally and we have a picky customer who has to have the best and will pay for it.
I was freaking out thinking that someone stole 2 of my Mack’s and we didn’t know it. I’m now thinking that I’m not running my company but my kids are.

At least they are thinking and using a lot of common sense. Rare thing in kids these days. Congrats on the great kids 
Oh btw you've been working for them all their lives you just didn't know it

I think your right I do work for them I just can’t admit it.
Yes 2 sets of identical twins back to back. Once my wife had recovered I went to the Dr. to make sure it would never happen again. I still have not recovered from the kids but it took me 2 days to recover from my surgery.
My wife works in dispatch with them, but it seams that I never get a heads up on anything.

My girls just got back from big rig school and it was the first day behind the wheel. They didn’t get to drive with trailers yet but that comes tomorrow and they can’t weight. Apparently they never told anyone they had there CDL and they showed up early so no one saw them roll in. So far everything has been a peace of cake of cake for them but they still like it.
Last week all the macho guys wanted to play who had the biggest trucks when class was over. They talked the guys into all betting $20 for who had the biggest truck, who could haul the most, and who had the most HP; they got to split the $160 pot.

Thanks everyone.
A son in law could be nice but I don’t see any of them coming along soon. The oldest ones are the macho redneck types that can a guy ego trip just meeting them. The younger ones think there princess and if you ask one of them to do something and they break a nail it’s your fault.
How do you get them to move out of my house?
I started making the oldest ones pay $500 a month rent when they finished collage. The younger ones are still rent free being in collage. They all work around the house and have weekly choirs that they have to do.
