Hope my GPS is good cause pulling up google maps somehow involves a uturn. Been there, done that, got the tshirt, won't say how much it cost. lol

What are ya'll governed at? Might want to get in on this race myself with my KW T600.

qwkmouse, Don't know what to tell you about the miles. Seems to depend on the company, the driver manager (or whatever their called where he works at), what he pulls etc. I've got a new DM in my company who is new to the business, and is not jaded about it yet. He seems to be looking out for his fleet and know he is looking out for me!!! HE ROCKS!!!!! Made sure I told him that too.

ibad-am doing my own version of the 12 oz curls at the moment. Probably won't drink quite as much as you since i got up at 0200 and am on the tired side at the moment.

Did I mention my DM rocks? I sent in my 001 (load commitment) for this load and damn if he didn't send me a preplan. Will be heading towards where Brinkman is at after I drop. I just love Holcomb, KS. (please note sarcasm)
JJ delivers at Sysco I think on the 5th 1800, I pmed ya his # he is meeting 6Pak and last kid for a meal why don't ya join em!

Then JJ and his student Larry have a load going to National Beef in Kansas.

Lol I dun mind I will get to meet everyone eventually and he will tell me what fun he had meeting everyone.

It seemed as though they were barely giving him the miles he needed to keep up his truck payments. He was getting worried that this might be a sign of the economic times, but wasn't sure. I would love to ride with him, but if this is a wide spread issue with the lack of good loads, then maybe it wouldn't be a good thing to do. He would be given loads to pick up with long dead heads - 400 or 600 miles, or he would be given short ones with lots of time on them. Is anyone else sharing the same issues? It would be nice to hear some comments not just because of me, but for his own sanity as well.
As a team you will do ok!! You will get some tight loads and a lot of re-powers.

If he is a L/O I would be mentioning to his FM that all that long dead head has to stop!

Another good thing as a hubby wife team all earnings go into same acc and he will get longer and tighter loads.

If you were to team with him and he was getting under 5000 a week I would ask for a new FM.

Central do have the loads it just depends on how hard your FM works for you.

Tell him it doesn't hurt to do the odd favor for a Load Planner as you usually get a nice run after it LOL.

Good luck with the coffee date!!

If it works out to be more then one date, be upfront tell her you will be gone for long periods and the only contact you will have will be on the phone!

OTR is hard on a new relationship.

Just talked to JJ and he is quite a hoot. I gotta admit to being jealous of 1Bad and his other students. This is 1 guy who takes he training seriously. Wish my trainer had been even 1/10 as good as he seems to be. Heck-I don't even work for Central and he said I could call any time I needed help or advice. Jess-what a keeper you've got!!!!!!!!!!

He really tries to make it easier for his students!

And yea he is a keeper!

Rakusa I'm not really sure about connections at the Motel!

The Hotel is the Ramada Inn, there are three listed in or near WVC!

Hopefully someone can tell you which one or call all three lol.
